Connecticut university hosts ‘climate change’ art exhibit with ‘lament’ for melting ice
Central Connecticut State University recently hosted a “climate change” art display, funded by a federal grant, that included a musical “lament” for melting ice in the Arctic.
The exhibition, “Emerging Dialogues in the Midnight Sun,” ran from March 10 to April 11 at the university’s Chen Art Gallery and was funded by a grant from the NASA Connecticut Space Grant Consortium.
The art exhibit was part of the university’s 18th Annual Sustainability Symposium: “Climate Change Through the Lens of Art,” which took place earlier this month.
“This grant will be used for shipping artworks and purchasing materials for the purpose of educating students and the public through an exhibition of Art, Science and Music that is focused on Climate Change,” the grant description states.
The funding comes through NASA’s Earth Science Mission Directorate, which “engages the Nation’s science community, sponsors scientific research, and develops and deploys satellites and probes in collaboration with NASA’s partners,” according to its website.
One of the 22 artists featured in the exhibition was composer Frank Horvat, who created a choral work titled “I Am Ice.”
Horvat describes the piece as “a passionate lament for the state of our world” on his website. He says he composed it after visiting the Arctic and witnessing “a lot of melting ice.”
“My intention is for this piece to become a resonant voice for something typically silent—the ice itself, which has so much to tell us,” the description continues.
The College Fix reached out to Horvat by email, asking why he believes climate change-centric artwork is important.
“I channel my creativity and musical voice to share my hopes, dreams, and fears about the world I live in. Climate change, a global issue that affects every person on this planet, has always felt like a natural theme to explore in my work,” Horvat said.

How much poo was used? Inquiring minds really don’t want to know.
BTW: Since this is government funded it is ripe for cancelling. Looks like NASA’s budget can be cutback some more.
Don’t even think about cutting their precious waste fraud and abuse. It’s sacred to them.

He could have done this for free by leaving his freezer door open.
