Islip Arts Council is seeking environmental themed art to display in our gallery that sheds light on the current day concerns of our planet's ecosystems as well as the results of the beautiful human-nature relationship. This exhibition will strive to highlight sustainable ways in which to reduce human impact caused by blind consumerism, greed, and other contributing factors in hopes of encouraging a new love for and understanding of our ever changing biodiversity.
In an attempt to inspire a "zero-waste" exhibit, we ask all accepted artists to deliver their work wrapped in reusable cloth (example: towels, blankets, bed sheets, t-shirts), or reusable grocery shopping bags to take back with you. We will not accept work wrapped in plastic.
