When the three friends and artists hiked together in Glacier National Park.This project documents the effects of climate change on Glaciers throughout the world and unites visual artists, scientists and writers who create convergent research on specific wilderness environments that are experiencing tangible and dramatic ecological changes.

Van Coller, who is based in Bozeman, describes the project: “Climate change is categorical, yet beauty, however temporal, still remains. As real time passes, The Last Glacier transforms into multi-generational artifacts that share stories of morality and resiliency in the face of a changing planet.”

This exhibition will be on view through July 27th and includes 20 original artworks including color photographs of glaciers by Montana artist Ian Van Coller; woodcut prints on washi paper by South Carolina artist Todd Anderson; as well as woodcut prints and watercolors by artist and master printer Bruce Crownover who lives and works in Wisconsin.

Of the 150 glaciers Van Coller, Anderson, and Crownover first started documenting in 2009, only 25 remain. The Last Glacier Project brings attention to our ever changing ecosystem and the challenges it faces, using the creative process to evaluate climate change’s visual impact on the landscape and its emotional impact on us.
