"Youth Ocean Art" exhibition of Mixed Media closes
Presented by Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs, Sierra Club Angeles Chapter and the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce
- Date: 01/08/2021 (all day)
- Location: Central Library Gallery
1000 Avocado Avenue
Newport Beach, California 92660
The Newport Beach City Arts Commission presents Bow Seat Art, an exhibition of youth ocean art, on display at the Newport Beach Central Library gallery.
This collection calls for care for our friends in the oceans, who suffer from our increased use of plastic since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Study showed plastic in the oceans will triple in 20 years. These young artists use creative and thought-provoking messages to call for change.
For our children, our environment and our economy, we must support every business and policy that aim at plastic reduction – now. And most importantly, each of us must lead by example – with a sense of duty and a vision for the future.
The exhibition will be on display through January 8, 2021, during the library's modified operating hours.
