February 23, 2022, will be the last day to see “In Deep Water” at Sonoma Community Center, Sonoma, CA.  The Sonoma Community Center webpage about this project gives all the details:  https://sonomacommunitycenter.org/event/in-deep-water-endangered/

This installation is a collaborative eco art installation art using hand papermaking and printmaking by artists Jane Ingram Allen and Jami Taback, focused on the current climate crisis and water.  A new configuration of the “In Deep Water” collaborative project will be shown at Gallery Route One Project Space, Point Reyes Station, CA, Nov. 19 – Dec. 26, 2022. The artists plan to continue this project and show it at other venues around the world in 2022-2023.

This unexpected opportunity to show “In Deep Water” at the Sonoma Community Center, Sonoma, CA, was supported in part by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and we are very happy to have been able to install our work in this beautiful light-filled gallery for longer than the two weeks originally planned, but now another exhibition is coming, and we will take this work down on Feb. 24. 
Please let me know if you want photos or more information about this work.  Public viewing in the Gallery is okay with masks, social distancing and groups of no more than 4 people during regular hours, M-F, 10am to 4 pm.   Just let me know too if you would like to meet me there before the show closes on Feb. 23.
Thanks to Jill Valavanis, Curator and Fine Arts Manager at Sonoma Community Center and to Timothy S. Allen for the photographs of the installation. See more of Tim’s photos at https://allentimphotos2.wordpress.com
