PROJECTS

CLIMARTE is thrilled to be collaborating with actor and theatre maker Catherine Abigail Ward to amplify the impact of The Herds, a 20,000km journey of art and performative climate action on an unprecedented scale. Led by The Walk Productions, from the Congo Basin in April to the Arctic Circle in August 2025, this epic project presents life-size puppet animals sweeping through city centres, fleeing climate disaster.

Set in 2035, 'COOL: How We Did It' features visionary artwork telling the story of how communities created ‘Fresh Fuel' to complement solar, wind and battery technologies to effectively close the energy mix loop; securing clean, reliable power that directly responds to local needs. And that's just the beginning.

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.

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.

'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.

'Electric Bangladesh: Fossil Free Futures' is an exhibition of artwork by five Bangladeshi artists calling on the energy giant to stop pushing new deadly fossil fuel projects in Bangladesh. The artworks depict the people of Bangladesh and their resilience as they grapple with the compounding impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises and ecocidal fossil fuel projects. 1 - 4 August 2023 Proudly presented by CLIMARTE and commissioned by Market Forces.

TREE
CLIMARTE is mounting an exhibition of artworks that depict and communicate a City of Melbourne’s tree and its experience of life. The trees are from the City of Melbourne’s celebrated Urban Forest project. Life has a layered dialogue with trees in the city context.
