SEQUIM — “Sustainability in the Arts: What Does That Mean?” is the topic for discussion Monday as the Sequim Humanities & Arts Alliance encourages creative people to take part in next month’s Museum & Arts Center show.
The MAC, at 175 W. Cedar St. in Sequim, will hold the first-ever “Art of Sustainability” exhibition in April.
To be included in the show, works of art must reflect the artist’s views of what sustainability means while demonstrating an environmental, economic or social consciousness.
Renne Brock-Richmond, an organizer of the exhibition, invites anyone who wants to network with other creative people, is interested in submitting work — or is just intrigued by the concept — to the free talk from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The Lodge at Sherwood Village, 660 Evergreen Farm Way just off North Fifth Avenue, is the venue, and admission is free.
“The arts have often been the trail-blazing force for change and advancement for civilization,” Brock-Richmond said.
“Throughout the art world, this notion of sustainability has been a hotbed of activity,” and now artists on the North Olympic Peninsula can be part of that movement.
‘Trail-blazing force’
Brock-Richmond is urging such artists to challenge themselves to foresee the Peninsula’s future and imagine what can be environmentally friendly and renewable here.
The show is open to artists age 18 or older; they may submit work in any medium.

Contributing artists may drop off their work between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 27, or between 9 a.m. and noon Monday, March 28.
