This past Thursday, was an exceptional day for art openings. The first was Pat Musick and Jerry Carr's extraordinary collaboration on "Our Fragile Home," at the Housatonic Museum in Bridgeport, CT. Through November 2.

This exhibition about words, is Pat Musick's direct response to the first United Nations Earth Day celebration, that Jerry Carr was honored to speak at in 1970. Carr was one of six international astronauts and cosmonauts to share his reponse to seeing earth from the vantage point of space.
Hope and respect for our planet earth, resonates deeply in the serenity and awe of the artists' visual translation of these words and Museum Director, Robin Zeller's installation of "Our Fragile Earth."
The uncanny relevance of this inspiring body of work, is without question, worth a visit to the Housatonic.
