Re-Vision the Art of Recycling is proud to present Art Against Climate Disaster at Deer Lake Gallery from April 16–25, 2026.

Art Against Climate Disaster highlights environmental challenges and features works from 19 local artists working in sculpture, collage, and painting — on view both inside and outside the gallery.

Artists include Valerie Arntzen, whose assemblage works use materials collected from around the world; Carolina Franzen who works with discarded materials and uses organic processes to create abstract landscapes and conceptual art objects; and Ron Simmer, who transforms discarded materials into captivating, playful works that offer whimsical commentary on modern society.
