​We are mostly water. Without water we would not exist. The six artists in this exhibition depict water, celebrate water, champion water in all its forms. Together they are Water’s Voice. Water is at the heart of the Climate Crisis. According to the UN, “most impacts of climate change come down to water.” Water is our most precious resource and yet we are polluting and depleting our water at a frightening rate. Glaciers are melting, our seas are warming, acidifying, and filling with plastic, and lakes and rivers have been made undrinkable. Using varied formats, mediums and scale, the artists fill the space with beautiful, haunting and compelling visions that pull us in, make us aware, and call us to act.

Patricia Espinosa @espiarte 
Eleanor Goldstein @eleanorgoldsteinart
Ellie Irons @elslaurel
Susan Knight @susan_r._knight

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.
