SUMMARY:Forever Ours: PFAS and Plastics Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Shaw Institute is proud to host Forever Ours: PFAS and Plastics\, a thought-provoking art exhibition exploring humanity’s complex relationship with persistent materials like microplastics and PFAS. The exhibit\, which runs through summer of 2026\, opens with a public reception on Saturday\, November 22\, from 4:00pm – 6:00pm at the Shaw Institute’s Environmental Education Center in downtown Blue Hill\, Maine. \nForever Ours brings together the work of 11 environmental artists whose visual and mixed-media pieces capture both the beauty and the burden of materials that have become “forever” intertwined with the natural world. The collection invites visitors to reflect on sustainability\, pollution\, and the shared responsibility of protecting our planet’s future. Each piece is accompanied by an explanatory statement that informs viewers about the environmental impact of these contaminants. \nDr. Rolsky’s talk will address the complex realities of plastic pollution\, including misleading greenwashing practices\, as well as cutting-edge research on microplastics and the development of sustainable materials. \n\n4:00 PM: Reception (light refreshments and snacks provided)\n5:00 PM: Lecture begins\n\nOpening Reception will feature wine and cheese from Blue Hill Wine Shop. The event is free and open to the public.
