KALEID Gallery artist Mariana Barnes was selected by internationally exhibited eco-artist Kim Abeles for inclusion in “Blue Planet” an exhibition accompanying “Elements: An Eco-Art Conference” sponsored and organized by the Pacific Region Chapters of the Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA).

270 submissions were received in a broad range of media from 117 artists throughout the United States. It was a time-consuming and difficult task for the juror, Kim Abeles, to evaluate submissions for this show. In the end, she selected a range of pieces that spoke of our precious element, water, and eco-art activism.

Artists' Reception: Saturday, June 26 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Eco-Artist Juror Kim Abeles will be there.
