Artists for Ocean Conservation

ARTSail residency and research initiative (
Private sector
)
#OceanAction46012
    Description
    Description
    A nomadic, multi-faceted platform, ARTSail facilitates interdisciplinary practice to cultural producers in the creation of innovative content addressing the climate crisis specific to South Florida and beyond. We connect artists with climate activists, scientists and marine experts to investigate how climate change and man-made pollution are impacting the South Florida waterways and assist them in the creation of tangible outcomes with climate advocacy value. ARTSail’s programs span from artist residencies to educational and outreach programs that help communities move from climate awareness to climate action. It is the only program in South Florida premised on access to ocean-going vessels and scientific practitioners for creative and climate change inquiry. This interdisciplinary engagement facilitates advocacy for public policy by leveraging the masterful capacity of artists to communicate. Recent and upcoming programs include: World Ocean Weekend Celebration, June 12/13 2021, in partnership with Blue Scholars Initiative and Faena Arts Simon Faitfhull Fata Morgana, a solo exhibition by Faithfull, an 2017/2018 ARTSail fellow, hosted by the Atchugarry Foundation, Miami Sept-Nov, 2021 C(h)oral Stories and Collective Actions, a group exhibition focusing on the beauty and fragility of corals, hosted by Art & Culture Center, Hollywood, FL, March 19-May 15, 2022 Pa Hay Okee - The Land of Grassy Water, a group show about the urgency to preserve Florida wetlands, hosted by ArtServe, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, April 14-June 25, 2022 World Ocean Weekend Celebration, June 11/12, 2022 in partnership with Blue Scholars Initiative and the W South Beach
