Song of the Land - ongoing through May 31, 2012

The Jewish Women Artists Network (JWAN), the only national non-profit organization of professional Jewish women artists in the United States, and a self-selected special interest group within the Women's Caucus for Art, announces its 2012 Annual Juried National Exhibition, Song of the Land.The theme of Song of the Land challenges the artist to consider contemporary issues of environmental sustainability: Earth is our only home and our constant and precious companion through life. We are the stewards of the earth. Lack of loving and knowledgeable care of our Earth and the inter-connectedness of all forms of life and the cycles of nature has led to depleted natural resources, water and air pollution, destruction of wild animal habitats and the loss of much of the Earth's natural beauty. Aware and concerned about our environment physically and spiritually, how do we, as artists, focus attention to the challenge of preserving, sustaining and protecting our planet? How do we help ensure the future of Earth's blessings? Close to 100 artists from the entire USA submitted works for consideration. Of the near 200 works entered, Juror, Ruth Weisberg, artist and former Dean of the Roski School of Art at the University of Southern California selected 44 works representing 43 artists.The artists participating in the exhibit are:
