Curated by Liz Gordon, this exhibition is a clarion call to action, showcasing how art can be a formidable force in combating environmental challenges, specifically the styrofoam quandary.

Styrofoam is ubiquitous, persistent, and problematic. This exhibition reimagines the narrative, transforming what is often considered waste into artistic works.  The show features an illustrious group of artists – Monique Birault, Kate Carvellas, Joe Davidson, Melinda Forster, Dwora Fried, Evan Nie, Snezana Saraswati Petrovic,  Enock Waiswa and Valerie Wilcox – each bringing a unique perspective to the forefront, demonstrating that creativity can pave the way for sustainability.

“Diverted Destruction 17: The Styrofoam Edition” not only highlights the versatility and innovation inherent in contemporary art but also serves as a pivotal educational platform. It exposes the stark realities of styrofoam’s environmental impact, advocating for a collective shift towards more sustainable practices and recycling efforts.

Liz Gordon’s curation is a testament to the transformative power of art. This exhibition is not merely a showcase; it’s an immersive experience designed to provoke thought, inspire change, and ignite a dialogue on the necessity of reevaluating our relationship with materials like styrofoam.  Her goal in this annual exhibition – now in its 17th year – is to educate and motivate the public, as a business owner at the forefront of the movement redefining the intersection of art and environmental activism.
