”Guam in Bloom,” a sustainable art exhibit celebrating Guam’s rich cultural heritage and commitment to environmental stewardship, was jointly launched on Wednesday by the University of Guam and T Galleria by DFS. The exhibit, which features a diverse array of artwork honoring the native and endemic plants of Guam, is at T Galleria by DFS in Tumon. It is open to the public during regular store hours.
The UOG’s Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant’s Guam Green Growth Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub team created the exhibit. UOG President Anita Borja Enriquez credited the UOG CIS/SG team for their dedication to conservation and preservation. According to DFS vice-president of operations Billy Chung, sustainability is an important movement for the island that DFS supports.
“We are extremely excited to be able to host the ‘Guam in Bloom’ exhibit here in our Galleria. For us here at DFS T Galleria, sustainability is something that we hold closely in our hearts,” said Chung. The exhibit is a part of the Sustainable September activities that included a tree planting event, a beach cleanup and workshops and is the second partnership with DFS.
With support from the Guam Green Growth team, the local artists behind the creations were Abby Crain, April Colitoy-Gaerlan, and Francheska de Oro. “The theme ‘Guam in Bloom’ also in many ways recognizes all the talent we have that’s blooming. And a lot of that talent is blooming at the University of Guam and in particular at the UOG Center for Island Sustainability & Sea Grant,” said acting Gov.
Joshua Tenorio, who also co-chairs the G3 Steering Committee. Austin Shelton, director of the UOG CIS/SG, said “sustainability is not about sacrifice anymore. It’s about opportunity.
” “We can have a green economy, we can build our economy, diversify beyond military spending, and tourism. We can see the beautiful things that our local artists are bringing out to the community,” said Shelton..
