Friday Focus: Hello? Anyone listening?
Buffalo Grove High School’s One Grove Gallery is pleased to present it's latest art show: Hello? Anyone listening?. This exhibition is an exploration of the environmental issues facing us today.
Advanced Art students and beginning Graphic Arts students explored environmental issues of their choosing. These artworks reveal the student's wishes to mitigate environmental disasters. Two views are depicted, one of devastation and one of solution and of human impact. AP Biology students also provided commentary on the works and larger issues at hand. We hope this furthers the dialogue and discussion of environmental issues.
The exhibition will run through January 19th, 2019. Click Here for more information on the One Grove Gallery.
