A Meet the Artist reception is set for 1-3 p.m. Nov. 13, in conjunction with the new display at Biscayne National Park called “Water, Water, Everywhere…” featuring 20 art quilts highlighting water’s importance.
Ten fiber artists worked on “Water, Water, Everywhere…,” which is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily through Jan. 1, 2023, in the Dante Fascell Visitor Center Gallery, an Oct. 10 news release said. The reception will feature refreshments and an artists’ talk. Admission is free to the reception and the display.
“As the largest marine park in the U.S. National Park System, we wanted to highlight the importance of water resources, regardless of whether that water is salty or fresh, frozen, flowing or falling,” Park Ranger Gary Bremen, who oversees the gallery, said in the release.
The display has fiber art, including fabric dying and painting, piecework, applique and thread painting, the release reported.
“It is my hope that this exhibit will make viewers aware of the importance of water for all living things,” curator and featured artist Melani Kane Brewer said in the release. “We must take greater care of how we use water.”
Located in Florida, Biscayne National Park has four ecosystems that support such wildlife as manatees, sea turtles, birds and fish, plants and insects, the park’s website said. Many of the animals are found nowhere else in the U.S.
