Twenty years ago, on March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground off the shores of Alaska, darkening our pristine waters. This historic event, the largest spill in the history of North America, left a lasting mark on our coastal communities. Reflections of a Spill is an art and science collaborative exhibit that encourages Alaskan artists and scientists to reflect on the impact of the spill. This exhibit opens March 24th and runs through June 28, 2009 at the Pratt Museum. Also on display in the Marine Gallery are the wooden sea bird carvings of Alan Bennett. This exhibit features a unique representation of the tribe Mergini (sea ducks). Heavily impacted by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, some have not yet fully recovered.
