Art of Sustainability: Artists Inspiring Eco-Consciousness
Ever wondered what it takes to be a public artist? We invite members of the creative community to join us for Part II of Level Up: Going Public, a four-part professional development series offered to local artists aspiring to gain insight into the public art process and become impactful leaders in climate action. *Admission is FREE* but spots for the workshops are limited! Reserve your place today for the whole series or just one.
About this event
Join us on Thursday, August 29, 2024, from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m., at the Erma Hayman House (617 Ash Street, Boise, ID) to learn how public artists are addressing Climate Action and inspiring eco-consciousness through their work. This talk will feature Boise artist Teal Gardner and other members of the Ecogeoglyphic Observatory (fondly referred to as the "EGG"). This project explores present-day industrial and residential development in the region surrounding Boise, Idaho, and the effects that this process has over the region's plants, animals, water, stone, soil, and people.
Founded in 2022 and composed of artists, scientists, poets, researchers, historians, parents, renters, queers, athletes, gardeners, neighbors, and friends, the Field Workers of the EGG Observatory meet semi-regularly, visit sites, share concerns, and support each other in their efforts to explore, understand, and work within expanding fields of inquiry. Their work results in exhibitions, field trips, workshops, and readings, all open to the public.
The talk will include interactive elements, room for discussion, and time to socialize.
Professional artists of all disciplines and experience levels are welcome! Admission is FREE, but registration is required. Light refreshments will be served. The Art of Sustainability: Artists Inspiring Eco-Consciousness is an in-person event. The talk will be recorded and made available on YouTube.
