Open Invitation: Art Exhibition Confronts World Water Crisis

Defending Water for Life, an activist organization run by Mainers who have been instrumental in the fight against Nestle Waters in that State, is developing an art exhibition to "examine, confront and change the multiple facets of the world water crisis, from widespread pollution to water inequity."

"Mega-dams, bottled water and privatization, our global community faces major challenges to meet the our planet's water needs. This is an open invitation to friends, students, artists, teachers, workers, children and elders to collaborate on a collective initiative to connect our local, national and global water justice struggles."

Pieces must be submitted by October 25th, 2009 for the first show in Portland, Maine. Their goal is to create an exhibit that can be shown in communities throughout the United States working for water equity.

To submit entries contact Emily Posner at info@defendingwaterinmaine.org, And, please spread the word to all your artist friends!
