Shaped By Ice

Altered Ecosystems

January 13 - February 21

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 17, 5 - 7 p.m.

Shaped by Ice consists of artists who have worked with and been inspired by the North Cascade Glacier Climate Project. The two week field season in August completed the project's 42nd year conducting annual studies on the same glaciers. This is co-led by glaciologist Dr. Mauri Pelto and the project’s Art Director, Jill Pelto, who has coordinated a variety of artists to backpack into the glaciers and experience the reality of the situation first hand.
The artwork explores stories about how our glacial regions are changing and how these changes deeply impact human and natural communities at many levels, from the loss of freshwater resources to ecosystem shifts.
Glacier loss is a visible sign of climate change. Our goal is to increase awareness, foster curiosity, and inspire personal connections between people and glaciers.
Curated by Margaret Kingston and featuring:
