Opening Reception: September 28 5-7pm
Call for Entry: Climate Change Art Exhibit 2019
​
Categories: Painting, photographs, and other 2D art.
Climate change art is art inspired by climate change, generally intended to overcome humans'
hardwired tendency to value personal experience over data and to disengage from data-based
representations by making the data "vivid and accessible".
“Human-induced climate change, which certain politicians deny and many of
us choose to ignore, threatens the survival of every species on Earth. If
emissions continue at their current rate, scientists anticipate widespread
coastal land loss, agricultural and economic collapse, food and water
shortages, frequent and severe natural disasters, and unprecedented refugee
crises.” The New York Times
