Congratulations and thank you for your submission to the Dalton 2025 Call for Exhibitions! The Gallery Committee reviewed your application and we would like to offer you an exhibition space with the Arts Council of York County. They'd like to pair your sculptures with the work of a local painter, K. Orr Ambrose for an exhibit in the Dalton Gallery. K. Orr creates abstract paintings. Attached are some images of her work.

From societal to planetary, we must change. Our greed has taken a hold of who we are and turned us against ourselves. We want new, we want now, we want fast, we want it all, at the cost of… 

The art on the walls speak of gentrification, engulfing desirable poor neighborhoods to expand living spaces for the middle class in our cities. Neighborhoods that became desirable because the artists, musicians, and foodies there created a destination place, a space of value. Those who live there, the servers, the laborers, the workers, are pushed out of the neighborhoods and later wonder “where did they all go?” and “why isn’t there anyone willing to work anymore”?  

The overhead installation is a representation of the ocean and the coral and marine life that are now endangered due to climate change, plastic pollution and hazardous waste dumping. Our “want it new, want it now, want it fast” way of life  is creating a monstrous plastic pollution issue that is taxing the planet. We must change our ways and go back, as best we can, to a life where our every whimsical convenience shouldn’t be met; where we work for our planet and not our personal wants. We must change.
