The exhibit, in addition to acting as a pedestal to bring the talents of regional artists to the forefront, called for conserving these natural areas.
“Through mesmerizing imagery and masterful craftsmanship, these artists highlight the delicate beauty of our waterways, inspiring audiences to protect and preserve them for future generations,” says MCA.
