Earth without art is just eh! The eARTh Inspired Gallery & Resource Café brings art, education, and community together for Florida Climate Week in Jacksonville. This weeklong pop-up from October 5th-9th features environmental art, exhibits, and resources highlighting ways to get involved in local environmental stewardship, sustainability, and resilience efforts. Presented by the City of Jacksonville Office of Sustainability, St. Johns Riverkeeper and Jax Climate Coalition in partnership with The Jessie, with support from VoLo Foundation. The call seeks artistic pieces that focus on Earth, sustainability, stewardship, water and nature.

We welcome all creative interpretations of those themes in any medium, e.g. film, painting, photography, written poetry, sculpture, clothing, and video art. This can be work created just for this event or pieces already in your portfolio. The exhibition is open to local artists in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas with preference given to those living within the City of Jacksonville. Please submit your artwork by October 1st.

Accepted artists will receive an honorarium, and one artist will be selected to receive a People’s Choice award for their work. During the week attendees will vote on the piece that most inspires them to be environmental stewards. There is no fee to participate. Artists can choose to sell their work at the exhibit. Please note that artists are responsible for displaying their art with their own easel, pedestal, projector etc. They are also responsible for the shipping/delivery of any sold artwork to purchasers.
