Unnatural Causes: Art of a Critical Nature exhibit opening at Maryland Hall
Fifty years ago, the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were created in response to the first Earth Day. These laws as well as the EPA are currently weakened or under attack. 
Human driven greenhouse gas emissions have caused one hundred percent of the warming observed since 1950, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). With water levels, record temperatures, extinction, pollution and carbon rates all shockingly on the rise, we don’t need a wave of action, we need a tsunami. 
4 Alarm Artists invite you to Unnatural Causes, a series of exhibitions and performances that focus on our impact on the planet. With three shows and more than thirty artists, Unnatural Causes spotlights the detrimental changes in climate and biodiversity. Our events bring together artists, conservationists, activists, and the public to direct us toward individual and collective action. Join us. Open to public.

When: POSTPONED, Will update ASAP.
