TONIGHT in NYC! On the Blue Shore Of Silence — Benefit exhibition for Parley for the Oceans, in support of The Vortex Project June 26 – September 3, 2014 Opening this evening in NYC, Tracy Williams, Ltd. (521 West 23rd Street) and Fitzroy Gallery (195 Chrystie Street) are pleased to present On the Blue Shore of Silence, a benefit for Parley for the Oceans in support of their initiative, The Vortex Project. Titled after the poem by Pablo Neruda, this exhibition delves into the open sea. Featuring work by more than 50 artists, the show consists of sculpture, photography, painting, video, and works on paper. As a group, the artworks are evocative — in some instances more in essence and atmosphere than in physicality — of the power and enchantment of the ocean. I will be speaking at the opening tonight at Tracy Williams, Ltd. at 7 pm. In light of our waning ocean ecosystems, this exhibition will donate a portion of sale proceeds to The Vortex Project, in an effort to amend the devastation and restore bio-diversity in the sea. Together, we hope to initiate a greater discussion and deeper awareness surrounding ocean and marine life conservation. Parley for the Oceans: Parley is the space where creators, thinkers, and leaders come together to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of our oceans and to collaborate on projects that can end their destruction. Please learn more about Parley at fortheoceans.org. The Vortex Project: Founded in 2013 by the non-for-profit organization Parley for the Oceans, Bionic Yarn, and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, with partner organizations including Plastic Pollution Coalition, The Ocean Alliance, MARE, and Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, the initiative addresses the fast-growing threat of plastic pollution. The Vortex Project retrieves plastic from the shorelines and oceans, recycles it, and turns it into smart consumer products to create funding and awareness. Details at thevortexproject.org. Tonights gallery opening is by invitation only via Parley. However, if you are in NYC for this gallery showing during the posted dates, please visit this spectacular exhibit.
