COMPASSION: For the Animals Great & Small, an interdisciplinary project by artist Mary Ting, opens on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 6-8pm to coincide with World Elephant Day. In response to the current plight of animals endangered by the Chinese demand for wildlife products, Mary Ting has created COMPASSION: For the Animals Great & Small, an art exhibition and series of public programs to create awareness and promote change.
The exhibition features a series of drawings, prints and an installation of recycled cardboard endangered animal sculptures by the artist and her John Jay College students. Free public programs will include Saturday family workshops, a film night, guest speakers from the Buddhist, traditional medicine and wildlife conservation communities, and a performance by the Red Silk Dancers.
