Pack Place Community Gallery

An Environmental Poster Session organized by the Asheville Art Museum will be on view
through Sunday, March 9, 2008.

The posters use narratives and photographs or illustrations to explain to viewers the mission
and work of each environmental group.

The Museum invited local and regional environmental conservation organizations
including the Canary Coalition Dogwood Alliance, RiverLink and the Western North
Carolina Alliance to participate.

“This poster session will help visitors to the Museum and Pack Place see the connection
between what local non-profits are doing here in our area and the more global thinking
that is reflected in the exhibition Time Is of the Essence: Contemporary Landscape
Art ,” said Asheville Art Museum Adult Programs Manager Nancy Sokolove. “I hope this
cross-disciplinary dialogue among arts and environmental groups contributes to our
region’s growing awareness of what is at stake environmentally, how artists visualize
this and what the average citizen can do to help in ways both large and small.”

The posters will be on continuous view with verbal presentations from representatives at
various times to be announced at a later date.

Pack Place Community Gallery is located to the right of the main Pack Place entrance near
the intersection of Patton and Biltmore avenues in downtown Asheville.

Held in conjunction with the exhibition Time is of the Essence: Contemporary
Landscape Art.
