Titled Climate Therapy, showcased art demonstrates how a warming world can affect many different facets of life, as seen in the eyes of the artists. The gallery has intermittent hours, but it open mostly during weekdays.
The works, by both art and science majors, demonstrates the need for intersectionality when solving complex environmental issues. The exhibition is on view through Wednesday, Dec. 4 and is located in the Art Studio building, in the basement.

As part of the show, visitors are invited to color in the drawings created by Julia Roldan, secretary and art chair of Art and the Oceans Club. Colorers have the option of taking their art home or hanging it on the wall outside the gallery.
In another interactive piece, there is a microphone in front of a white box with the words 鈥淪OAPBOX鈥 written across the front in bold letters. It is a space created to welcome people to talk about their experiences with, and concerns about, climate change.
