Other artists also will be a part of the exhibit via Water, Water Everywhere, a continuing video presentation.

Peninsula College Art instructor Michael Paul Miller says this special exhibition was organized as part Peninsula College’s celebration of the United Nation’s declaration of 2013 as “The International Year of Water Cooperation” and helps to support Peninsula College’s commitment to Global Awareness.

The Water and Water, Water Everywhere exhibition runs through Dec. 5. Hours for the PUB Gallery of Art are 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday. Admission is free.

Special campus-wide programs and class activities centered on the theme of “Water” around the world will be presented throughout the academic year and will focus on issues such as war, health, the environment, the global economy, culture, and immigration as they relate to this most valuable resource.
