What IS environmental art? Our title is intentionally open-ended so artists (and visitors) might challenge and expand our relationship to environmental art. Is it pastoral? Is it doomsday? Can it be pop/punk/smart/funny? What is environmental art’s relationship to space and place and community? For this show, we celebrate bright colors, transcorporeality, and multi-media responses.

Forest For Trees is a diverse and expanding collective of artists working across creative disciplines to address issues of environmental, social, and political importance. Forest For Trees creates and curates multimedia, genre-expanding environmental artworks that address gaps in climate, environmental, and ecojustice education in spaces and places where captivating art, engaging events, and educative programming are needed and supported.
