Upcoming Exhibit to Feature Three Emerging Artists

In mounting an exhibition of three emerging artists whose work converges around the subject of landscape and the environment, teachers at Greenwich Academy are linking the visual arts to the sciences, building on a STEM initiative launched at the school several years ago. The first show for the new year entitled "land(e)scape" begins with a reception on January 14. The exhibit is part of a three-year exhibition plan developed by teachers Erin Riley and Kristen Erickson that focuses on three genres---landscape, portraiture and still-life---with three secondary themes. The first in the series, running through March 5, brings together three emerging artists, Kysa Johnson, J. Henry Fair and Eric Lopresti, whose work relates to human impact on the environment. All three New-York-based artists will visit Greenwich Academy to discuss their works during the run of the show.
