SUBMERGED: A Changing Global Climate Public Exhibition and Artist Tours Continue Through July

SUBMERGED: A Changing Global Climate is a multi-media art exhibition centered on flooding and global climate change. Held in a space within the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center that has been completely submerged during past floods, the selected works speak to historic and current extreme weather events impacting our region and the planet’s struggle for survival. 

Visitors will be visually immersed in more than 30 works by nineteen artists in varying styles, mediums and materials, directed by Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center Executive Director Karen Young and curated by Thom Duffy, who said: “The engagement between visitors and the art sparks lively discussion about our relationship with the environment, the history of the Fairmount Water Works, and all the connections to Global Climate Change.”
