Experience the Power of Art to Inspire Climate Action
In February of 2021, Climate Action Network Canada (CAN-Rac), Ecology Action Centre (EAC) and the Conservation Council of New Brunswick (CCNB) collaborated with the FUTURES/forward community-engaged art mentorship program to bring environmentalists and artists together in an inspiring process of collective creation.
