Final Art Exhibition Artist in Residence G.G. Silverman
Sunday, September 28 
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The Cottage at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park
All are welcome to attend the final showing, where the completed artworks will be shown, and available for collecting. There will also be a spoken word performance by invited writers. A portion of the proceeds from each artwork sale will be donated to Puget Soundkeepers Alliance, whose mission it is to protect and enhance the waters of the Puget Sound. The sculptures and mixed media pieces will mainly utilize children’s toys, children’s clothing, baby name books, and other items like plastic bags and plastic bottles to create a haunting installation that calls our attention to what may be lost if we don’t take action against climate change. In addressing our future grief now, will we be inspired to change?" Learn more about G.G. Silverman here.
