DESCRIPTION:Visit the Museum of the Earth's Gift Shop on First Friday Art N
 ight\, July 5\, 2019\, to see the new exhibit of works by Trisha Koomen an
 d participate in our art activity "Making a Statement Through Art". The Mu
 seum will be open for extended evening hours.\n\nArt is a medium of commun
 ication that transmits the artist's feeling and ideas. One of Trisha Koome
 n's pieces makes a strong\, unique statement on fracking. When you see her
  work you will notice how she took recycled products to create her work an
 d depict her passions about the Earth. This month during our First Friday 
 event we will explore making a statement through art using recycled materi
 als. We will help you formulate a idea that you would like to transmit thr
 ough a work of art and then help you to create an artwork with recycled ma
 terials that can transmit those ideas. What do you feel passionate about? 
 Art can help you show the world that passion. \n\nBeing outside in nature 
 has always been huge in Trisha Koomen’s life\, and from early on\, the h
 ealth of the planet has played large in that experience. As a child she lo
 ved to be outdoors in her small town in British Columbia\, set near a moun
 tain to climb and much more. Even then\, in the 50’s and 60’s\, Koomen
  sensed destructive forces lurking in her father’s use of the term “pr
 ogress”. Today she continues to marvel at how being outside\, in the nat
 ural world\, affects her in a positive way\, and she seeks its company oft
 en. The work that Koomen produces reflects the connection that she feels t
 o nature and her concern for its wellbeing.\n\nLight refreshments will be 
 served. Special evening admission rates apply to Museum exhibits and the a
 rt activity. Admission on Friday Art Nights (from 5 to 8 pm) is only $5.00
 . Admission to the show in the Museum's Gift Shop is free\, the artwork wi
 ll be on display through the end of July.
