CMA2 Impact Mosaic Campaign - Earth Day 4/22/2025

 I was honored to be invited to participate in an online exhibition with other mosaic artists that use recycled, found, or natural materials in their work. It was created in celebration of Earth Day.

The webinar is only for members although it's free to join Contemporary Mosaic Arts 2 which is an online forum for artists working in mosaics worldwide. They have wonderful webinars!

 Here are a few of the other artists that participated in this webinar:

Seacoast Environmental Film Festival

 I was excited to participate in a panel affter the showing of "Revolutions" a short documentary about the bicyle waste stream being created by the volume of cheap bicycles being manufactured.   https://kitterylandtrust.weebly.com/seacoastenvironmentalfilmfestival.html   This annual event is a celebration of the many folks working hard to preserve our environment thorugh documentaries and local vendors offering information and advice.

Bicycle waste is the equivalent of the "Fast Fashion" waste crisis and I was happy to be able to show this film to the Teen Science Cafe Leader Team at APEX.  You can watch it here:
