Dear Friends,
We've started feeling the slow change of the atmosphere.
Yes, the anticipated warmer and brighter spring is knocking at our door! So, we are now ready to have a light hearted theme for change!We are going to shift the show theme to “Spring, Celebration for the Earth” show.
Spring is the Rebirth of Nature as we’ve known for centuries. However, climate change has causeddrastic changes to our environment. Dry air led to destroying many dense forests by fires, droughtscausing arid landscapes, contamination of agricultural lands with chemicals, littering and dumping toxicsubstances into the vast ocean killing fish and living beings, overusing fossil fuel causing worsenedair quality for us to breath. While we are seeing the worsening of our environment, it is very comforting to know that the spring time still comes around to remind us of what we have valued for centuries. Our hearts and minds will be up-lifted and we can enjoy how mother nature entertains us.
It is the time to celebrate for the Earth! Lush gardens with colorful flowers and plants, landscape painters taking us to the unimaginative beautiful sights, dense forests, ponds, rivers, oceans and waterfalls, mysterious animals awaken, birds singing over the spring sky, active butterflies and bees flyingin the yards, fish swimming in a clean water, plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits for our good health,dogs and cats and all of us happily living together making our lives meaningful…Let us celebrate the Rebirth of Nature!!
​
Looking forward to be thrilled, delighted and entertained by the creative artists works in both the 2-D and 3-D and in all media.

With Warm Regards,
