Each spring, MEEC hosts an ecologically themed show to help people connect with the world’s beauty, deepen our understanding of ecosystems and inspire actions for sustainability.  Artists (visual artists, writers and musicians) and educators of all ages and walks of life participate and hundreds annually view the show through a visit to the gallery or participating in our associated indoor and outdoor programs.

The year's show explores the relationships between peace and the environment. Examples include the restorative power of nature, the impact of human greed and violence on our natural environment, our spiritual connection to the Earth and the effects of uneven access to Earth's resources.

Stage, Song and Service at the University of Dayton will present  Namaste: Greeting the planet within us at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 31 at the Bergamo Center Chapel. Developed for Peaceful Earth Works, this transformative performance focuses on the proportional relationship between the condition of each human being and the condition of the global environment. Namaste uses an inspiring variety of songs, dance, poetry, scenes, artwork and comedy to acknowledge and celebrate our interconnectedness. Stage, Song and Service is a collaborative service learning experience between members of the UD and Dayton communities founded by Lee Hoffman. Download a poster here.

On Thursday, April 10 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m., MEEC volunteer Kathryn Eckerly will host an evening of reflection on the gallery theme.  Take Another Look will also be an opportunity to discuss living more peacefully and sustainably.  RSVP by Monday April 7.
