Salvage for MART is an exhibition designed for Massachusetts Power Shift, a 4-day event on climate change that took place at Boston University (www.masspowershift.org). Salvage for MART showcases environmentally sustainable art created from eco-friendly mediums. Mediums have always been a reflection of the lifestyle and culture in which the art was made. Now in an age where there is a global array of material to choose from, the freedom to create art from innovative yet unsustainable and even toxic materials is a temptation. However, there is a new culture emerging amongst the wasteful, unsustainable culture of the past. As artists in this exhibition choose nature-based mediums over unsustainable products, they set an example for others: they pave the way for a new generation of creative, mindful thinkers who are ready to make the shift to greener lifestyles, and preserve the world for generations to come.
