Ongoing until Earth Day (22 April) 2030. Every day award winning botanical artist Sharon Field makes a drawing or painting for 'The Scrolls: 3,000 days...and counting'. A stunning, active, archival artwork of exceptional beauty, Sharon's Scrolls are an ongoing creative action to engage as many people as possible to join her in doing everything in their power to halt the destruction and begin healing local and global ecosystems. CLIMARTE is proud to be supporting Sharon to present 'The Scrolls' to audiences near and far.

PROJECTS
CLIMARTE collaborates with artists, scientists and activists to create powerful artworks and public programs.
ONGOING PROJECT
ONGOING PROJECT
In the context of the Climate Emergency, 'Creative Constellations: Atlas of Radical Hope' is a Victoria state-wide project to make visible locally focused creative projects that intersect climate, culture and community in ways that boldly envision a fair, socially and ecologically sustainable future based on respect and reciprocity.
EMERGING PROJECT
'CLIMARTE Window Reflections' is an emerging project designed to leverage the CLIMARTE Gallery’s momentum in reaching new audiences by prominently displaying beautiful and prescient artwork in prominent shopfronts. More convinced than ever of the power of art to engage and inspire people to demand effective action to address the Climate Emergency, we are testing a pop-up concept to provide inclusive opportunities for artists, residents, local businesses and vacant shop owners to unite in calls for effective climate action while helping to revitalise our local public areas.
