President's Gallery

This traveling exhibit addresses the current environmental issues that we face today. Forty works were chosen from the EARTH: Fragile Planet exhibition that was on display at the Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in 2010. EARTH showcases 40 of the world's most accomplished illustrators and talented newcomers, including work from Shaun Tan, who recently won an Academy Award for his short animation The Lost Thing, Tim O'Brien, who famously painted Barack Obama for Rolling Stone along with countless Time Magazine covers, Edel Rodriguez, who created art for last year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Peter DeSeve, who worked on the Ice Age movies and created countless New Yorker covers. The exhibition is divided into five categories: earth, energy, air, water, and wildlife. It gives the artists a forum to set forth their personal views about the state of the world and the environment. EARTH is intended to be educational and to create awareness of current and future environmental concerns.
