On April 22, 2020, the world will come together to celebrate the 50th annual Earth Day Celebration. Earth Day is set aside each year for reflection on the world we live in, how we operate within in, how can we continue to be agents of change and transformation in positive ways, and action. Art is a key component of Earth Day celebrations - art has the ability to connect individuals across language, cultural, and political barriers; art has the ability to heal and the ability to educate; art has the ability to shine a light on the beauty of our planet.

Here at the Leepa-Rattner, although our doors may currently be closed as part of the global movement to defeat COVID-19, we want to share some of that beauty with you. We are proud to present selections from our permanent collection that highlight the beauty of our planet and that feature some amazing environmental activists like Leslie Neumann and Doris Leeper. Enjoy the images below and make sure to share your own creations with us on our Facebook page!
