In response to this time when our planet’s health is at a dangerous tipping point due to climate change and pollution, many artists have set their sights on environmental concerns and use their art as a tool for grassroots ecological activism: as testimony to raise awareness and as a call to action. Our Earth, Our Future presents work by artists who share a common interest in promoting environmental sustainability and stewardship through their art.
