IYOR Highlight
Marine artists join the IYOR campaign
The world of art has always played a critical role in provoking thought and generating dialogue. It should be use to generate environmental awareness. Marine artist Troy Hotard shares this vision, and through his work, he hopes to raise awareness and educate the public about the beauty and fragile nature of the ocean's coral reef systems. In addition of donating a painting entitled "Living Color", he also kindly agreed to sponsor an IYOR online gallery. Following his leadership, several other marine artists joined the cause and donated some of their work. All the art on the online gallery is for sale in order to raise money for coral reefs.
