Environmental art emerged in the 1960's in response to the environ- mental movement. Its intent is to facilitate a sustainable balance between human and non-human nature through restoration, education, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Given the educational focus of environmental art, community involvement is often central.
Artists are taking the environmental knowledge and information supplied to us by scientists and journalists and bringing our awareness of these raw facts to a more visceral, primal level. It is when enough of us feel the reality of the facts experientially that real change will occur.
One of the leading international organizations in a growing community of artists, scientists, curators, writers, nonprofits and businesses who are developing creative and innovative strategies to address our global environmental issues. We promote a diverse range of artworks that are participatory, collaborative, interdisciplinary and uniquely educational. Our philosophy embodies a broader concept of art in its relationship to the world and seeks to connect human beings aesthetically with the awareness of larger ecological systems.
