Photography exhibit just down the street!

There is an art gallery on Danforth between Woodbine and Coxwell. Did you know it was there? The Dylan Ellis Exhibition Space is located at 1840 Danforth Avenue, and for one more week we can all go and see Philip Jessup’s exhibit called Imperiled Landscapes, which is part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.

Two special events this week include:

Gallery talk – Thursday, June 11 from 6:30-8:00pm
Closing party – Sunday, June 14 from 2:00-4:oopm

Admission is free!

Gallery talk 2

Gallery is open: Mon–Wed, 9am–5pm, Thu–Fri, 9am–8pm, Sat–Sun, 10am–4pm
The photographer is in the gallery on weekends, noon – 4 PM for Q and A.
The exhibit closes on Sunday, June 14 at 5 PM.

Here’s a description of the exhibit:

Over the past eight years, Jessup has been photographing the potential effects of climate change on wilderness during travel related to his environmental career. As the earth warms up, wilderness areas will be especially at risk. In the Arctic, sea ice is disappearing while Inuit villages sink into muddy ground. Along coastlines, rising seas are inundating wetlands essential to bird migrations and seashore protection. Meanwhile, large rural watersheds are afflicted by recurrent droughts, threatening urban water supplies. Imperiled Landscapes surveys conditions in Pond Inlet on Baffin Island, Mai Po mangrove wetland in Hong Kong, and the Sugarloaf water supply catchment area in wilderness north of Melbourne. All are endangered by global warming. The exhibit offers a window into the wild beauty that we can save if we take action.
