Membership Renewal, Embodied Forest, Fundraiser Gallery, COP26
Tomorrow is the start of our annual membership drive. You'll be receiving an invoice to renew for 2022. Deadline for payment is January 1,
2022. There's a grace period until January 31 if you need it. Now would be an
excellent time to suggest to your friends and colleagues to
join us!
Almost 3,000 people have viewed the Embodied Forest exhibition online and there are 106 pre-orders for the book. We are in the cue at greenerprinters and plan to have the book in hand before the end of November. This edition is 150 copies and we'll continue to take pre-orders for a second printing in January. Order now! see below
Have you checked out the artworks for sale in the Fundraiser Gallery located on our website under Exhibits? Several pieces have sold, and new works will be added this week. A separate email will soon be sent that can be forwarded to friends and family to suggest purchasing eco-art as gifts this holiday season. Go HERE
We will continue with Tree Talk for November, focused on Embodied Forest artists and our monthly member's Soil (formerly fiber) and Water Dialogues. There's also a Plastic Dialogues inspired by our recent Some Kind of Nature event. See events below
If you're interested in partaking in an informal virtual watch group for the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice during COP26 in Glasgow, you can join me Saturday, November 6 at 6 am MT to check out all the LIVE arts-based activities. Please send me an email to receive the Zoom link. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey with you in 2022!

Physical Listening: A Dancer's Interspecies Journey In this book, choreographer and educator JoAnna Mendl Shaw describes her deep dive into the world of horses and equine training. On her journey, Shaw realized that her dancer’s skill sets reached far beyond plies and pirouettes, performing and making dances. Beyond athleticism and artistry, a dancer’s movement intelligence and physical listening skills can powerfully traverse into other fields, informing our modes of communication and deepening our ability to make nuanced and informed movement decisions.

ecoartspace has
served as a platform for artists addressing environmental issues since
1999. In 2020, we transitioned to a membership model. Members include
artists, scientists, professionals, students, and advocates sharing
resources and supporting each other's work. This is an inclusive,
non-competitive collaborative environment where we can imagine and make
real a healthy, equitable, resilient future. |
