The Sea to Sky Arts Council Alliance has partnered with Divers for Cleaner Lakes and Oceans, Return-It and local artists to launch the Sea to Sky and Lower Mainland’s first-ever environmental art campaign.
The Diving In: The Art of Cleaning Lakes and Oceans’ art exhibit is now on tour with the first stop in beautiful Squamish at the Foyer Gallery in the Squamish public Library. The eleven stunning pieces of art were created from a range of objects recovered through clean-up dives at local lakes and ocean sites.
The art will be on display in Squamish until the end of the month at the library.
Enjoy art created by: Michael Binkley & Olivia Richardson, Cori Creed, Monica Gewurz, Arne Gutmann, Sarah Haxby, Cath Hughes, Cary Lopes, Paulo Lopes, Liz Nankin, Joe Suave and Karen Yaremkewich. Turning Trash into Treasure will be a unique touring art exhibit, showcasing stunning pieces of art by selected artists created from a range of objects recovered through clean-up dives at local lakes and ocean sites.
Along with a live art unveiling, artists, divers, representatives from participating organizations and regional dignitaries will discuss the challenge of marine waste, the purpose behind this public awareness program, and the importance of responsible recycling.
