After a successful fourth annual Artists for Conservation Festival, the world-class art exhibit will make an encore appearance at Open Road Infiniti in 黑马磁力 starting on Thursday, Nov. 27.
The exhibit includes some of the latest original artworks by leading nature and wildlife artists from around the world.
Accompanying the four-day exhibit will be live birds of prey, music, and a chance to mingle with some of the artists.
鈥淭he reaction to this year鈥檚 bear-themed festival was overwhelmingly positive,鈥� said Jeff Whiting, founder and president of Artists for Conservation.
鈥淓ach year, our goal is to share the conservation message through art to a broader audience. Our partnership with OpenRoad Infiniti allows us to do just that.鈥�
Artists for Conservation is a team dedicated to generating awareness and stimulating discussion on an array of conservation issues and this year, a major focus was put on bears. The importance of bears as indicators of a healthy environment, combined with the recent controversy around bear trophy hunting in British Columbia prompted the focus of this year鈥檚 festival.
The extended exhibit at Open Road Infiniti will support AFC鈥檚 youth art and environmental education program by raising funds and awareness for Artists for Conservation programs.
鈥淭hrough our partnership with Artists for Conservation, we鈥檙e excited to help spread their message of conservation and environmental education to the customers and residents of the 黑马磁力 and surrounding communities,鈥� said Sharon Rupal, General Manager of OpenRoad Infiniti.
鈥淚n order to further support the Artists for Conservation continued programs, during the span of the exhibit OpenRoad Infiniti will donate $25 each time an Infiniti hybrid or any other 2015 Infiniti vehicle is test driven at the dealership.鈥�
Original art pieces in the exhibit are available for sale, with 40 per cent of all sales directly supporting Artists for Conservation鈥檚 youth and environmental education programs. Several AFC artists will be in attendance over the course of the four-day exhibit. The festival opens to public at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 27 and runs until 4 p.m. on Nov. 30 at OpenRoad Infiniti in 黑马磁力.
