Inspiring conservation through art

We believe that art is the perfect vehicle to show what is hidden, explore new horizons, question the status quo, highlight the magical biodiversity, make connections, and raise awareness.

Under the Sea

Virtual Art Exhibition

Under the Sea was created to inspire people to fall in love with the ocean and motivate them to protect it; as well as provide artists with the opportunity to showcase their incredible work in ocean education, conservation, and protection. 

We hope you join us in this journey to find what makes the ocean important to you and why, what connects you to this wonderful body of water, and how to defend it.

Ocean

Virtual Art Residency

The Ocean Virtual Art Residency was conceived to provide a dedicated space for artists whose work centers around our ocean. Our goal is to foster connections among like-minded artists, facilitate the development of new projects, and offer dedicated time and space for their creative practice. We aim to create a global virtual community where artists from diverse backgrounds can unite, sharing a common commitment to the oceans and their preservation for future generations.

Our Land

Virtual Art Residency

Our Land invites creative explorations of terrestrial ecosystems, whether through caring for forests, combating desertification, restoring degraded land, or responding to urgent biodiversity loss.

Atmos-fear

Virtual Art Residency

Atmos-fear centers on the five layers of the atmosphere and examines how human activities have warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, driving rapid shifts across the climate system and increasing the number of weather, climate, and water-related disasters.

Sustainability

Virtual Art Residency

Sustainability welcomes artists exploring the interconnected well-being of our lands, waters, oceans, and communities, along with the environmental, social, cultural, and economic systems that shape daily life. We are looking for artistic perspectives that show how education can empower people with the knowledge, skills, values, and behaviors needed to care for the environment, economy, and society.
