For the 7th Generation—A Community of Coastal Watchers

Mentor Renata just finished this piece last month and is in an exhibition which is going on July 13-17th at the Lincoln City Cultural Center in Oregon. It is a one mile project where each artist paints a 2’x4’ mural of an area of the West Coast where they live. The goal is to raise Ocean conservation awareness.

If you find yourself in Oregon, you should check out the exhibit! But if you're not, check out this excerpt from their website, which you should check out as well.

“Imagine 1320 paintings by 1320 artists to go with the 1320 miles of the Washington, Oregon and California coasts. These paintings, each four feet in length, when put together end to end, and in geographic order, offer the viewer an opportunity to walk the Western coast. As each artist revisits their location (which we encourage them to do once a year) a new painting is generated. Each year the pano-mural recreates itself. This is a resonant relationship with the coastline, which also recreates itself each year. The For The Seventh Generation pano-mural is different each year from the one before, as new work is painted, new artists join in, and the artwork that is sold is no longer exhibited. It is designed to be passed on to other artists and other generations.”
