DESCRIPTION:836M Gallery presents "Kelp!," an exhibition centered on California's 
 endangered kelp forests co-curated by Josie Iselin and featuring the work 
 of Bay Area visual artists Tiffany Bozic, Ann Holsberry, Ellen Litwiller, 
 Lina Prairie, Laurie Sawyer, as well as Iselin. The opening reception on 
 May 25 at 6:30 p.m. is free with RSVP at 836m.org/kelp.\n\n"Bull kelp is 
 the foundational species of California's coastal marine ecology, and they 
 are crucial climate regulators," said Iselin, author of The Curious World 
 of Seaweed. "Unfortunately, the ocean forests along California's North 
 Coast have declined since 2014 due to a convergence of natural factors and 
 human impacts on the oceans. Globally, kelp forests are critical for 
 biodiversity and climate mitigation, but they are disappearing 
 fast."\n\n"This ambitious exhibition brings together art and science to 
 inspire wonder, activate visitors' curiosity and catalyze action to protect 
 our great forests of the sea. We learn not only about seaweeds but also 
 their resilience, resourcefulness, poetry and magic."\n \nEmploying a 
 variety of techniques and media - from drawing, photography, painting, 
 printing and sculpture - the artists, all of them women based in the Bay 
 Area, have devoted their careers to exploring the underrepresented flora of 
 the sea. For this exhibition 836M will be transformed into an immersive 
 environment featuring prints on textile by Iselin, cyanotypes by Ann 
 Holsberry, kelp sculptures by Lina Prairie, prints by Laurie Sawyer, a 
 tondo by Tiffany Bozic and a mural by Ellen Litwiller mounted in the 
 Gallery's adjacent office space.\n \nThe opening reception on May 25 will 
 feature chef and author Maria Finn. Before she moved to Sausalito, she 
 worked in the commercial fishing industry in Alaska. Other events include a 
 food tasting, documentary screenings and a policy panel designed to inform 
 voters on matters of environmental concern before election day in the 
 fall.\n\nThe exhibition continues through December 8.\n\nFree\n
