Kindling: Art and Environmentalist Awakenings


  • Bernard Charnwut Chan Gallery Pomona College Studio Art Hall, 370 Columbia Ave. Claremont, CA USA (map)

Happy to have Now you see it… (special edition) and Against the Tide (special edition) included in this virtual exhibition. Check out the link below to view the exhibition.

The Chan Gallery of the Pomona College Art Department presents Kindling: Art and Environmentalist Awakenings, a virtual exhibition showcasing artwork by members of the Claremont community. Kindling represents both destruction and awakening; it denotes a material to be burned and an action of ignition, instigation. This exhibition hopes to spark, feed, or reignite flames of awareness--it presents work intended to bring our threatened environment to the forefront and inspire action for its defense.Kindling brings together artists from across the country, all of whom share ties with Claremont and the surrounding area. The vast geographic and thematic scope of their work bonds and holds together thanks to their common experiences in Southern California and shared concern for our global natural environment.

An exhibition on the importance of the natural world would be incomplete if it did not include a land acknowledgment. We acknowledge that the Claremont Colleges reside on the land of the Gabrielino/Tongva people. The Tongva people are the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar, including all of the Los Angeles Basin and the South Channel Islands.
