Thursday, March 29th at 6:30pm join us at the Cornell Art Museum in Delray Beach for the Opening Reception of Enchanted, a Conceptual Interactive Forest Installation by renowned South Florida artists Cheryl Maeder and Diane Arrieta, who combine their works to present a modern fairy tale experience that collides with the realities of our modern world [e.g. extinction and rising waters]. Focusing on the beauty and lessons we as humans can learn from our natural landscapes and inhabitants. By constructing a faux natural environment, based on land and sea, the artists are conveying the need to “slow down and smell the flowers” before it [nature] disappears.

The Voyage Installation is about the existence of magic and enchantment that surrounds us; the connectedness of all life forms. Humans are not separate from Nature and other beings in the environment. If we do not operate with respect and consciousness of all life on Earth, all living beings, such as butterflies- will soon become extinct.
