Art for Climate Action: Get Involved in Our New Events Programme
Posted: 14/04/2023
We’re pleased to be kicking off spring with our exciting new Art for Climate Action programme.
Art for Climate Action is a programme that explores the role that art has to play in encouraging people to connect with environmental issues and bring about meaningful change in perceptions and behaviours, leading to climate action and climate solutions. We believe that art has the power to make a change and encourage radical thinking, enabling us to imagine and build a better future together.
Launching later this month is the Art for Climate Action: Community Projects, which will be followed by a series of exciting exhibitions and events throughout the season:
