Curated by Fran Beallor<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

The Interchurch Center <\/strong> 61 Claremont Ave, New York, NY 10115
March – April 2026<\/p>\n\n

Featured the work of forty-four artists March 10 through April 14, 2026  The Interchurch Center presented Earth in the Balance: Artists\u2019 Voices for the Planet<\/em>, curated by Fran Beallor. This group exhibition included the work of forty-four artists who examine the climate crisis and our place in the balance of nature. These works help us see our role on the Earth and the profound shifts we are being called to make. Shifts that require a new way of seeing our relationship with our environment. 

After the success of Water\u2019s Voice <\/em>and Our Fragile Moment<\/em>, last year\u2019s double curation at Hudson Guild in Chelsea, Beallor was invited to mount another show focusing on the climate emergency for the Interchurch Center in uptown Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n
