EXHIBITION DETAILS
September 10, 2009 – October 30, 2009
Entirely “green” juried exhibition with cash prizes. We are looking to challenge the museum to take on environment responsibility, viewers to rethink their relationships with “disposable” objects and artists to reduce their carbon footprint.

Co-chaired by Christine Batta and Nicole DeAugustine, two F&M graduating Art History and Anthropology seniors who are interested in green initiatives on the Franklin & Marshall campus and fine art’s capacity to lead in social change.
