In the ARTsmart Community Studio Gallery
Please join us for a special exhibition of art from New Mexican artists 25 years-old and younger in conjunction with Global Climate Strike week and Climate Strike Day Santa Fe. Artists were inspired by the climate crisis and activism and their artworks will be displayed, unframed, salon-style, in this show curated by local youth leader Artemisio and Youth United for Climate Change Action (Y.U.C.C.A.) with help and oversight from EarthCare.
In Crisis will bring awareness to the international Climate Crisis by highlighting and giving voice to the creativity of New Mexico’s youth artists. This exhibition will feature works from students and youth across the state. Y.U.C.C.A aims to support the creative efforts and voices of local youth through providing an open admission gallery exhibition on the topic of climate injustice.
