New art is on display in front of our office - 103 Hickory St.
This is the second art creation for our display box, and we couldn't be more impressed with high school students Sydney and Isa and what they created. Wander by our office, stop, look, and ponder.
If you'd like to be involved in creating art, email Amy.

From Gloom to Action and Back Again We use art as a medium to interpret and depict our inner visions of the climate crisis. For this piece we adjusted our scale to not only examine the Earth as a whole, but to also visualize both local aspects and outer space. We gave the moon a side profile akin to that of a human, with the one visible eye looking down in sorrow at the suffering planet below, and painted a large eye gaping from the ocean on Earth. These human features are meant to elicit a greater understanding from the audience, to give life to the inanimate planes of space in order to nurture compassion and genuine feelings about the consequences of climate change. To look at the Earth from such a distance is nothing extraordinary, so we gave our piece another layer of depth and detail in an attempt to draw out the viewer’s sympathy. At this smaller regional scale, we illustrated climate-induced disasters: droughts, hurricanes, flooding, fires. These disasters paint a grim sight. But we paired the gloomy aspects of our painting with people from a variety of continents, protesting and creating change. This piece is meant to inspire change and climate action through juxtaposing disaster and action, from the local to the global. Sydney Yung, age 15 Isa Weston-Capulong, age 15 |

Now online, our first climate-themed ART display!
Over the winter break of 2021-21 Wren C. curated our first art display. These pieces, all done by Missoula area youth, now hang in our office. Check out the virtual exhibit and audio guide here. A great socially distanced activity. We think art can be an powerful way to spread awareness and build momentum! The first Visualizing Climate Display & Audio was created by Wren Cilimburg. She and her Dad built the box! |
