This exhibition will examine the various ways that global climate change is reflected in the visual arts. Since 2006 there has been a literally explosion of exhibitions, projects
and interventions on the themes of climate change, sustainability and ecological responsibility. Working with scientists, statisticians, public policy wonks, municipal officials and arts organizations they have set the protocol for this genre of art making. Artists thus have been at the vanguard of concretizing scientific, social, political and economic theory around the environment into specific projects which they have situated in venues for maximum exposure to the public.

Stanford Addison, Northern Arapaho traditional healer and horse trainer was paralyzed when the truck he was traveling in struck a herd of wild horses near his home on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Stanford uses his intuitive training methods with wild horses to teach people to look beyond their differences and self-imposed limitations. He is featured in the documentary Silent Thunder, Smithsonian Magazine, and the book by Lisa Jones, Broken: A Love Story.
