FREE: Creatives for Climate Workshop

Climate change is the biggest threat facing humankind – yet Americans have been slow to acknowledge that we are changing climate in very dangerous ways, and slow to move from climate awareness to climate action. Artists could play an important role in helping people face their climate fears and move to climate action.  Both individual and community health and well-being can be enriched when people rise to the challenges and work together.Thanks to a grant from Climate & Urban Systems Partnership CUSP we are organizing a Creatives for Climate workshop for the fall of 2016. CUSP is a Pittsburgh, New York, DC and Philadelphia based project, funded by the National Science Foundation, coordinated locally by Carnegie Museum of Natural History, that aims at changing climate conversation in urban settings.

This workshop is different than you think. Yes, we will be talking about climate change, climate science and climate solutions - but without getting depressed. 
Network with fellow artists while learning the finer points of climate science and communication from experts and peers alike. Then build on that knowledge through hands-on activities and community-building discussions. Explore new ways to deal with climate change. Create climate art.
Thanks to a grant from Climate & Urban Systems Partnership and support from the Heinz Endowments, this event is free. Reserve your spot by registering by September 28.
