http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=5858

    How do we coexist with the ever-present possibility of disaster?
    How do we react to a social climate that reminds us to be
    perpetually suspicious and very much afraid?  The artists in The
    Sky is Falling, a multi-media art exhibition, suggest we are
    responding by arming ourselves (both literally and figuratively),
    using beauty to express outrage, and at times fiddling while
    Rome burns.
