CALL FOR ARTISTS
2nd Annual Climate
Change Art Exhibit
hosted by the Waco
Friends of Peace/Climate
September 2018
OVERVIEW
The
Waco Friends of Peace/Climate is a local non-profit organization dedicated to
direct action and education to combat anthropogenic climate change. The
goal of the art show is to raise awareness of climate change, emphasize that
climate change is a global emergency, portray the ongoing effects, and suggest
hopeful solutions. We believe that art, through its
emotional/spiritual/mystical impact, enhances the scientific understanding of
the subject. All submitted art should address some aspect of climate
change. To encourage all artists to consider submitting their work, this
2nd annual show will take place in a larger, beautiful venue, requires no entry
fee, and offers cash prizes.
