Huntington Beach, CA – The Huntington Beach Art Center is delighted to collaborate with artist-curators Luciana Abait and Lawrence Gipe to present By Degrees: Art and our Changing Ecology, a juried exhibition of original artworks addressing critical environmental themes. As global warming becomes increasingly evident in our daily lives, artists around the world and in our communities are reflecting, creating and examining the climate crisis in response. By Degrees brings awareness to the severity and scale of our changing ecology as seen through the artist’s eye.More than 120 artists submitted new work for consideration. Selected works will be displayed in the 3000 square foot galleries of the Huntington Beach Art Center located in downtown Huntington Beach, California and online in virtual galleries.
