​Our one planet is warming and warning us. The “fragile moment” we are in has inspired a diverse group of thirty-one creators to turn their artistic visions to the crisis. In a range of abstract, symbolic, realistic and surrealistic styles, these artists address vanishing wilderness, wildfires, pollution, both invasive and endangered species, melting glaciers, threatened corals and desertification. Some artists use text and graphs to highlight issues, including sea level rise. Others use recycled materials which underscore their concern for the environment. The combined voices of these artists allow beauty to blend with sadness, fear to be overlayed with hope and optimism, and apathy to be turned to action.  

​A series of events in conjunction with the shows will be announced soon.

​About the curator:
Fran Beallor is an artist, arts educator and independent curator. For Beallor, giving artists a voice through her curation is at the core of her practice. Concern for the environment is also key to her. Related curations include the exhibit Fragile Earth as an online show for the New York Artists Circle digital gallery space in 2020. In 2023, she co-curated The SEED: the spark that sets an art life in motion at Art at First Gallery, NYC and ref-u-gee, an online exhibition of Audrey Frank Anastasi’s forced migration series. In addition to these and other gallery shows, Beallor has curated panel talks for Artists Talk on Art, and will be presenting one in conjunction with Water's Voice and Our Fragile Moment.
