Superfund Art Project in coordination with the City of Gainesville’s Department of Cultural Affairs has been awarded a State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs grant.  This grant will allow us to stage an exhibit of art that expresses the science and emotions of living with a superfund site.

We are providing a call to artists here:  Region4 Call to Artists

We are also providing an Artist’s Workbook to help inform and guide the artists and their work.  The workbook can be accessed here:  Region4 Artist’s Workbook

All artists are invited to participate!

Region4:  Transformation Through Imagination Art Exhibit

Thomas Center Galleries – March, 2012

Honorable Mayor and Commissioners,

As President of Protect Gainesville’s Citizens and Chair of the Superfund Art Project I want to thank each and everyone of you for helping us to move forward with this exhibit. It is planned for the Spring of 2012 and will begin at Gainesville’s own Thomas Center Gallery.

I also want to thank Mallory O’Connor and the Superfund Art Project Board of Directors for their creative spirit and diligent efforts in bringing forth this project. Thanks are due to Steve Phillips, Paul Volker, Fred Murry, Russ Blackburn, Michelle Park and Margie Allen for their wise counsel and indefatigable efforts on our behalf.

I am excited and convinced that each of you will be thrilled by and proud of the artists and the exhibit as we move forward with the restoration and reuse of the Koppers Superfund site. I am also convinced that this exhibit will prove to be a model for other communities around our nation that are similarly dealing with Superfund sites of their own.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the exhibit!

Kim A. Popejoy
