The United States Geological Survey is currently only funded through the middle of March. If funding is not continued, the employees will be furloughed, and the building will be closed. In case this should occur, please consider which art works you would be willing to leave on exhibition during the closure as it might not be possible to retrieve them before the building is shut down.
Reception: February 13, 2025 from 5 to 7 PM.
Judge David Kepley
Exhibition visitors will also be able to vote for a “People’s Choice” award.
