The contemporary art show features the works of 26 artists from 10 countries– all focusing on climate change, specifically melting ice caps and the effect that has on all living creatures.

Artists from around the world respond to the threats posed by climate change. A total of 23 pieces are in this thought-provoking exhibition including photographs, oil paintings, sculpture, and video installations. They focus on both challenges and opportunities. They ask us to examine the effects of rising temperatures on humans, plants, and animals, on the landscape, and on the changing shape of the world we know and hopefully inspire us to take action to do our part in caring for the environment.
