Directions
The ecoartist's intent is to communicate, inspire caring and respect, stimulate dialogue and contribute to social transformation. Learn about the trailblazers who have laid the foundation for ecoart as a widespread practice and the online resources that foster worldwide connection among ecoartists. You'll also get to see examples of artist activities bringing creative solutions to ecological issues, hear an art educator's experience, and find out how you can get involved in this innovative practice.
