News from BDSJS and Facing Climate Change
On May 10th, Climate Solutions held their annual fundraising breakfast at the Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle. This year’s speaker was Bill Gates who spoke to the 1200 attendees about the importance of investing in clean energy technologies. We were amazed by the sheer scale of the event; in an hour and a half the organization raised $488k for their invaluable work. We exhibited seven large prints from Facing Climate Change at the breakfast. The images were on display in the foyer and at the VIP reception. A big thanks to Savitha Pathi at Climate Solutions for the invitation.

Images from Facing Climate Change will be shown at the Annenberg Space for Photography as part of their Extreme Exposures slide show night. The event is March 3, 2011 and features “photography captured in and documented under extreme conditions and climates.” A number of Blue Earth photographers are included. More information is available on the Annenberg website.

Our Sámi reindeer and wildfire work from Facing Climate Change is now on view at the Washington State Convention Center. The exhibit, Forecast: Communicating Weather and Climate was curated by Lele Barnett and presented by the American Meteorological Society and EcoArts Connections.
Thirty Washington artists are featured including our good friend Maria Coryell-Martin and Seattle photographer Chris Jordan. More details can be found on the American Meteorological Society blog.
The show opens January 24 and runs through April 5. We’ve been told that 60,000 people are expected to move through the space during the Flower and Garden Show alone!
I just picked up our prints from the Confluence Gallery in Twisp. Last Thursday night, we presented our Facing Climate Change work as part of the gallery’s beautiful Weathering Change exhibit that has been on view since the end of July. We had seven prints in the show from our reindeer and wildfire work.
