Recycled Art-Themed Community Day and Artist Book Signing
Saturday, February 26 from 10am – 1pm at the Gibbes

Sponsored by the Junior League of Charleston


(Charleston, SC) – The Gibbes Museum of Art is pleased to announce a recycled art-themed Community Day on Saturday, February 26 with complimentary admission and family activities from 10:00am – 1:00pm.  Junior League of CharlestonCommunity Days are held quarterly to offer visitors the opportunity to experience the Gibbes’ dynamic programming free of charge.  This “green” Community Day will include hands-on recyclable art activities for children, special performances, and an opportunity to view the
two special exhibitions, Art of Our Time: Selections from the Ulrich Museum of Art and  J. Henry Fair: Industrial Scars.

Featured exhibition artist J. Henry Fair will be at the Gibbes at 12:00 noon to sign copies of his new book The Day After Tomorrow: Images Of Our Earth In Crisis. The hardcover book showcases many of the arrestingly beautiful large-scale aerial photographs that are on view in the Gibbes exhibition. The striking photographs are, in actuality, the documentation of environmental degradation caused by industrial processes.
