LAND, WATER AND SKY

NOVEMBER 14, 2008 –JANUARY 3, 2009

This exhibition of paintings and sculpture celebrates the existence of our nation's natural rescources.We seek to remind you of the fragility of the earth’s natural beauty. By focusing attention to art and its inspiration, we hope to encourage stewardship of our country and our planet to protect our future. Artists included are Greg Mort, John McCoy, Randall Exon, Bo Bartlett, Jamie Wyeth, Jon Redmond, Francis Di Fronzo, Margery Torrey-Godwin, and Michael Godfrey.

The splendor of America’s incredible scenery, and wildlife has inspired artists for centuries. This tradition of landscape painting depends on the continued existence of forests, rivers, oceans, open spaces, wild animals and birds. Then, as now, the voice of Art remains a powerful means of communication. In this new millennium, we have begun to accept that we live in "One World" that carries with it responsibilities never dreamt of by our distant ancestors.

Somerville Manning Gallery is offering support to The Art of Stewardship Project from sales in this exhibition.
