Art is a powerful tool for social change. But how do artists make visible the urgency of environmental and social justice action through creative work? Join artists Kadie Salfi and Crystal Clarity as they share their perspectives on how gallery art, mural art, movement art, and protest art transform spaces, shape our communities, and engage us in the most pressing social issues facing our planet. Our panelists will explore how art can open spaces for dialogue and critical thinking about our world. They will examine art’s potential to effect social change and make our communities more sustainable and just: in the gallery and in the street, on the wall and on the move.
  • Ways in which environmental art can raise awareness and help promote conservation and health
  • How artists draw inspiration from what is happening in the world around them
