PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 30, 2023
A new, unique art exhibit opened Sunday at the Portland Museum of Art. The exhibit features art created by six young artists who, out of more than 500 entries, were selected as the winners of this year’s Tidal Shift Award. On Saturday, three winners from each age category were honored. Now in its second year, the Tidal Shift Award contest invites youths, ages 14-22, to submit environmental art about climate change. The goal is to showcase, amplify and provide youth perspectives about environmental solutions and perils – from wildfires to floods to savage storms – that humans, animals and natural resources now face.
