"The End of the Romance: Getting Over Oil"
organized by Mollie Burke

Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe, 113 Main Street, Brattleboro, VT, October 1-25, 2010

Brattleboro Climate Protection and Artists for a Cool Planet invite your participation in an exhibit of art to be held at Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe in October 2010. The purpose is to draw attention to the climate crisis and the urgent need to reduce fossil fuel emissions. The exhibit will coincide with the international day of climate action on 10/10/10 sponsored by the organization 350.org.

The sponsors are looking for works which celebrate connections to the natural world, emphasize the urgent need to reduce fossil fuel emissions, or represent solutions. The work need not be literal; a statement to contextualize it may be helpful.

The exhibition, The End of the Romance: Getting Over Oil will take place at Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe from October 1-25, 2010. The art can be whimsical, comical, or serious.
