"Sculpture Now" presents works by 25 Pacific Rim Sculptors focusing on serious social or environmental issues challenging our country and planet and resulting in humanitarian crises: pollutants damage our atmosphere to the point of extreme climate change, fires, crop failures; insecticides and industrial wastes poison our land and waterways; and discarded plastic chokes our oceans and kills already over-fished marine life. Scarce resources lead to strife. Borders close to desperate, asylum-seeking refugees and children are torn from their parents.  In these times of unprecedented and rapid change, artists' voices need to be heard more than ever.
