Deliciously Disposable Earth will be a Salon style international multimedia exhibition that explores the contemporary implications of mining industries across the world. What minerals are being mined? What are we using them for? Who is profiting and who is sweating? How does it fit into our contemporary world of corporate and globalized interests?

Workshop for Working Artists
And then on Saturday the 26th, feel free to attend the Working Artist’s Workshop held at the Fe Gallery in Lawrenceville, which starts a tad early in the morning so don’t drink too much at the Crawl!
Their press release:
Please join us for the first in a series of informal yet informative discussions with prominent members from the art community: Michael Olijnyk, curator of the Mattress Factory; Kurt Shaw, art critic for the Tribune Review; and Renee Piechocki, artist and public art consultant. The workshop is designed to create a forum for discussing the nuts and bolts of exhibiting and gaining exposure as a mature working artist - not to mention the balancing act that we must master in the process.
Brunch and Q & A Discussion Begins at 11AM
