On The Edge: Living The Anthropocene (Lecture and Reception)
Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition On The Edge: Living The Anthropocene, November 16th, 2021 through January 13th, 2022. The artists will give a lecture on November 16th at noon in the EWU Gallery of Art with a reception to follow. The artwork of Northwest artists Ann Chadwick Reid and Natalie Niblack recognizes the impact of climate change on marine and forest environments of the Pacific Northwest.
