The Benaroya Show
On May 27, 2010, Art presented his multimedia show “Between Heaven and Earth” at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall. This show would not have been possible without wonderful fan support and generous sponsorship by Donovan’s Kenmore Camera (www.kenmorecamera.com) and Canon USA (www.usa.canon.com). Even Tom Skerritt showed up to kindly introduce Art.
Wondering what the giant sea lion nose is on the screen behind the presenters? The International Conservation Photography Awards exhibit will be at Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture (www.burkemuseum.org) June 19-September 6, 2010. Art will be giving two talks on opening day, June 19. For more information: http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/event/icpa_openingday/
