Tonight – Exhibition Preview Event at the Joan Mitchell Center. Robin Wallis Atkinson will be introducing CATALYST – Artists of Southern Louisiana Respond to the Gulf Oil Crisis along with exhibiting artists Anastasia Pelias, David Sullivan, Michel Varisco, and Dawn Dedeaux. These artists will present brief introductions to their work and their engagement with the issues brought to light by the BP Oil Disaster of 2010. Dan Favre from the Gulf Restoration Network will close off the night by giving a short talk about how to get involved with Louisiana wetlands preservation.
“This will be a great opportunity to learn about the show and the topics we hope to take on. This show has been a long time in the making and I’m thrilled to share a stage with these truly dedicated and socially engaged artists.”
Hope to see you there!
Best,
