Artists - Kimbra Eberly & Carissa Pignatelli
August 9th - 18th

developed a new style of art incorporating spirographs, acrylics, glitter paint and more.

Created by Kimbra Eberly and Carissa Pignatelli, A walk-through, immersive, interactive art exhibit is coming to Staten Island, August, 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18, 2024 at Hub17s Theatre.

This very ambitious exhibit will feature 6 large 12’x9’ murals, including an underwater scene, a Galapagos Island scene, the Rocky Mountains, and a Desert Watering Hole. In addition there will be a retro 60s black light room, all home to some of these endangered animals. There will be surprises and give-aways.

The animals featured in our project are among the most endangered on Earth. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart. The extinction of one species results in the extinction of other species in its ecosystem, as they each have important roles to play.

How much is climate change to blame? The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List shows the impact on 10,967 species, with projections indicating that a 2°C temperature increase could put 18% of land species at high risk of extinction by 2050.

In recognizing animals that are approaching extinction, we wanted to give back. Together, we can protect vulnerable wildlife. Ten percent of sales will go to the “World Wildlife Fund.” Your support helps protect freshwater resources and landscapes. Rebuild food systems to nourish people and nature. Achieve healthy oceans and nature-positive seascapes. Conserve the world’s most important forests, wildlife and wild places.

Artwork, greeting cards, note cards, black-light posters, calendars pillows and more, will be available for purchase at the end of the exhibit, in our wildlife shop.
In addition, “Project Extinction,” an educational coloring book filled with art work, will be released and also available for purchase in the shop.
