Using the power of art for climate action.
Climate art to help the earth:
Through active engagement in art and collaboration with like-minded organizations, we foster awareness, dialogue, and advocacy about climate change and environmental issues.
More people are now accepting the inevitability of climate change. Unfortunately, our awareness of impending calamity can give rise to anxiety, resignation, and denial.
We inspire people to action by increasing awareness, activism, and communication about climate change through workshops, performances, events, and online art.
Studies show that artistic expression can change behavior more than words. We, as artists, know that art affects people at a visceral level. Using art, we can transform climate paralysis into positive action. In short, we can harness this powerful way of communication to save the earth.
Featured in May--Terre Nostra
On May 15, 2025, Artists for Climate Awareness hosted Grammy-nominated Christophe Chagnard in a free presentation of his climate-focused classical music film, Terra Nostra, at the St. Louis Public Library auditorium. The film is a multimedia symphonic creation by Christophe Chagnard and Charlie Spears, produced by Earth Creative. We live-streamed the film with a pre-screening introduction to Christophe by member Laura Zacher. The public attended virtually, and we live-streamed it to Ivy Tech in Bloomington, IN. This event included climate-inspired watercolor by Carol Carter and a performance by Native flute performer, Jim Mayhew.
Artists For Climate Awareness is making art to heal the Earth.
In our hosted events, we make and appreciate art that expresses our experiences of climate change. This may involve painting things we care about, depicting what we have loved and lost, or portraying our successes and our failures. All our events include concrete guidance on climate action.
Our Story
In late 2021 and early 2022, a dozen or so artists in the Midwest gathered together to discuss scientists’ projections of impending devastation of the earth, its inhabitants, and its resources. We decided to do what we know best: inspire others through art and conversation.
With that idea, we are planning art workshops, shows, and media experiences to express our collective experience of climate change. We work in partnership with value-aligned organizations and artists in the U.S.
Our offering is not just art, though; everyone who participates in our events receives a Climate Action Toolkit consisting of ways to help, expressed in actions that people feel comfortable doing.
Who We Are:
To date, our contributing membership is include contributors from 14 states as well as members overseas. We partner with other nonprofit organizations to make a more harmonious and sustainable world.
