Lexington seeks submissions for Art by Nature exhibit

Lexington is inviting artists to submit works for 'Art by Nature: Rooted in Time,' celebrating trees over 250 years old as part of the city's 250th anniversary. The submission deadline is September 14, with the exhibit scheduled for October 17 to December 13 at the Living Arts and Science Center. This year marks the eighth iteration of the program, emphasizing inclusivity for artists of all levels, with pieces available for sale. In a related theme, eco art is gaining prominence, highlighted by ongoing exhibitions and projects that blend creativity with environmental activism, such as the Uts’am Witness Project in Greater Sudbury. Artists are increasingly using their work to raise awareness about ecological issues and promote sustainability, as demonstrated by a recent exhibition at the University of Massachusetts Amherst focusing on the impact of human activity on the planet. This growing movement showcases how art serves as a catalyst for environmental consciousness and change.
