About Us

Mission

This project will create conscience about water contamination and damage caused by the excessive use and bad management of plastics through an art exhibition.  The project will draw attention to our symbiotic relationship with water elevating the understanding of its function, and fragility by exposing the destruction wreaked by plastics and what we can do about it. 

Vision

Create a culture of environmental awareness among the populace, encouraging them to adjust their consumption patterns, and drastically reduce the amount of waste. Participate in educational activities. We will demonstrate how small adjustments to our daily routines can make a significant impact.

Project description

Goal 14

Four Latinx artists from Northwest Arkansas, collaborate on this project to create 16 original works of art and one art installation. Each artist produces four works, using their skills to produce a collective installation that embodies the exhibition's overall theme. 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future." Transforming our planet" initiative. This Agenda outlines 17 goals to address a global issue and demonstrate the necessary conditions for sustainable development. We opt for "Goal 14", which addresses life in the ocean. The difficulties caused by the overuse of plastics and their eventual disposal in the ocean, which results in the extinction of more than 100,000 animal species annually, be presented in this art exhibition.

David Gomez

What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here. David is a Mexican American artist working from his studio in Rogers, Arkansas. He explores the place of humanity in the cosmos and the delineation of meaning and context through lines and shapes. The latter is a recurring theme of his work as he contends with the aggregate of lines, types of fonts, and how biomechanics turn into language or symbols. His immanent inquisition of meaning derives from a longing to understand and be understood.
