William L. Fox, director of the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, will present an illustrated journey of art made during the Anthropocene, an informal geologic chronological term that serves to mark the evidence and extent of human activities that have had a significant global impact on the Earth’s ecosystems.

The artwork ranges from landscape painting to earthworks and beyond.
