The program includes 5 afternoons of public panels presenting thematic conversations on art and the environment with guest artists, scientists and climate experts. The program is sure to be full of information and inspiration about how artists and environmentalists are facing today’s environmental challenges.
The studio class with Judy will reconvene after each afternoon panel for further discussion and knowledge sharing.
