CLIMARTE GALLERY

After more than ten years working at the nexus between art, science and civil society, CLIMARTE introduces the world’s first gallery dedicated to addressing the Climate Emergency in all its manifestations.

Convinced of the creative power of the arts to inform, engage, and inspire, the CLIMARTE Gallery presents groundbreaking participatory exhibitions addressing interconnected and interdependent ecological impacts as well as effective, justice-based solutions to the Climate Emergency. Additionally, the Gallery hosts robust programs of public-facing events that delve into critical discourse between art, science and civil society.

Given the depth of grief and despair associated with climate issues, the CLIMARTE Gallery also provides an important welcoming space for people from diverse communities to be heard.

As our Gallery is also available for hire by trusted groups and individuals, please consider us if you’re looking for a venue for a special meeting or event.

FIRE Exhibition

CLIMARTE was proud to start 2022 with FIRE, an exhibition by artists who have experienced or make work about fire. More extreme and ferocious fires, particularly in Australia, are a huge consequence of the changes in climate due to global warming caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Artists in FIRE have experienced its ravaging effects first hand.

HEAR Exhibition

CLIMARTE was proud to open the world’s first Climate Emergency Gallery with HEAR, an exhibition of contemporary Indigenous art calling for all Australians to listen to and care for Country. For CLIMARTE, it was critically important that the Gallery open with First Nations artists’ voices. We were humbled by the opportunity to present this exceptional collection of deeply engaging artwork.
