Alexandria, VA (December 14, 2011) - Imagine a post apocalyptic landscape. Come and see how area artist have documented this inhospitable world with artistic vision. We invite you on this adventure. You will need to be armed with imagination. What would you see in a world after a global disaster decimates populations, governments and society? Is this world real or media created?

Apocalyptic scenarios open up a world of creative possibilities—we watched robots becoming our masters in “The Terminator” or genetic mutated monkeys taking over earth as in “The Planet of the Apes.” Don’t forget zombies. Perhaps your idea is more like WALL-E looking for the rebirth of plant life or even giant cannibal Kardashians over running the planet. Why should Hollywood have all the fun?

This show will offer 2- and 3-dimensional art as well as textiles such as clothing of apocalyptic era. Apocalyptic fashion will be worn during the opening reception on Friday, January 6 from 7-10pmand also on display through January 29.
