Arctic Sanctuary: Images of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
March 5, 2011 - May 29, 2011
Arctic Sanctuary: Images of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, celebrates a milestone in American conservation history, the establishment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge five decades ago. The traveling exhibition and its accompanying book feature both large-scale and intimate landscape images that commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Alaska. Photographer Jeff Jones’ work conveys a sense of the scope, significance, and stunning beauty of the immense Arctic Refuge wilderness.
Arctic Sanctuary leads the visitor on a journey deep into this landmark wilderness, a vast and remote land that remains untamed by technology and undisturbed by human development. In turns celebratory and contemplative, emotionally evocative and beautifully fierce, Arctic Sanctuary’s photographic images and informative notes pay homage to the wilderness ethic and wilderness itself. The exhibition features 25 large-scale archival-quality digital prints by Jeff Jones selected from the more than 150 images published in the book.
