Artists: "Changing Climates, Changing Communities"
In partnership with ECO (Engaging on Climate in Oxford), the OCAC is proud to present the 4th Annual Changing Climate, Changing Communities exhibition.
Climate change can feel abstract, or of another place, or far into the future. However, climate change is increasingly impacting local communities through more frequent flooding, heat waves, and severe storms, as well as changes in species occurrence and the timing of biological events. The scale and impacts of climate change, coupled with changes in national and global policies, can make the problem feel overwhelming, resulting in anxiety and hopelessness. Yet, many communities, including ours, are proactively addressing these impacts by adapting and building resilience through individual and collective actions, from planting native species to municipal action plans.
Featuring: Barbara Westendorf, Carla Clakmar Rice, Cindy Schneider, Debra Bowles, Devan Horton, Emily Davidson, Emily Galloway, Erica Keener, Evan Zhou, Katie Felen, Kenny Sharp, Laura Boorks, Mike Wright, Nancy Wedleigh, Roscoe Wilson, Steve Sullivan, Tarah Trueblood and the students of Ridgeway Elementary and Union County High School.
Musical Guests: Linus Tate
Linus Tate is Alex Poteet (guitar and vocals), Noah Cope (bass and vocals), and special guest Chris Novy (drums and percussion) from The Tadcasters and Brass Lasagna Percussion.
Together, they combine energetic performance, great musicianship, and vocal harmonies with a classic song selection to create a unique live entertainment experience perfect for outdoor events, music lovers and audiences of all ages. Linus Tate has spent the past 10 years perfecting their live show at restaurants, summer concert events and corporate performances in Cincinnati, Dayton, Butler County and Northern Kentucky. The band blends elements of rock/pop and roots/americana music covering artists like James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Merle Haggard, The Beatles, Eagles, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne and many more to make for a must-see live music event!
