PROJECTS

Set in 2035, 'COOL: How We Did It' features visionary artwork reflecting on how local communities strategically collaborated to fast track the transition to regenerative and resilient systems. In addition to nourishing food for people, animals and soils, plant based ‘Fresh Fuel' was developed to complement solar, wind and battery technologies to effectively close the energy mix loop; securing clean, reliable power that directly responds to local needs.

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.

Our brilliant collaborator and wonderful friend Mandy Martin (1952-2021) was a highly influential artist, educator and a passionate environmentalist. Her painting practice emphatically explored the often fraught relationship between humans and the natural world.

'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.
