The Art of Climate Planning
funded by a City of Ames Small Art Grant
The Art of Climate Planning was produced by The EcoTheatre Lab and funded by a City of Ames Small Art Grant. The project was inspired by the City of Ames’ commitment to developing a climate action plan in the coming months. The EcoTheatre Lab commissioned seven local artists to develop art pieces with the aim of encouraging community participation in the climate action planning process. These art pieces were displayed in various community spaces between September 2021 and March 2022. A big thank you to everyone involved in the Octagon Center for the Arts’ Outrage to Change Project in Summer 2020, which inspired the structure for The Art of Climate Planning.
