Calls for broadsides, ecofeminists
The "Ecology of Freedom" call for broadsides went out last month, and we are excited to receive your submissions. Opportunities abound when we collaborate with galleries, pop-up spaces, and incubators such as The Crow's Nest in Baltimore. Another opportunity came about last month for an exhibition in Scottsdale in early 2025. Our Arizona members have now been invited to submit work for an ecofeminist focused show titled "There is No Planet B." see below
Last month, we wrapped up our Geologic Dialogues. Members can watch the entire series in the members area of the website. For the next two months, we will be taking a hiatus from the Zoom Dialogues and will resume in September with the Soil Dialogues, Water Dialogues and Plastics Dialogues. We will also hold our biannual Sustain(ability) & the Art Studio course starting in October through December. see below
In August, we will welcome twelve of our members from across the US and Spain to New Mexico for the Natural Mineral and Botanical Pigments Workshop. And we will launch an outdoor site works exhibition, Where There is No Name for Art, at the Randall Davey Audubon Center in Santa Fe during Indian Week. see below Reminder, as of today our membership fees are half-off through 2024,
basically a six-month membership. Please tell your colleagues this is a
good time to try it out, join in the dialogues and learn about
exhibition opportunities.

Fall 2024
Deadline August 15
Classes will be held on Saturdays from 2-4pm EST October 19, 26; November 2, 30; and January 4, 2024
This is our fifth course designed exclusively for ecoartspace members that will prepare artists to develop ways of thinking about sustainability in their practice, both conceptually and physically. Participants will learn how to wildcraft art materials, a practice that requires one to deepen their relationship with land, creativity, and self. Artists will also be invited to think critically about their relationship to place, materiality and voice in a time of socio-ecological destabilization. Through lectures, discussions, creation, and sharing, implications of a bioregional perspectives alongside the function of art to inform will be considered, and what a grounded and meaningful art practice can entail today.
Cost $375. Three scholarships are available. Approximately 12 participants maximum.

Gravitropes is a sculptural basin that has been robotically carved from reclaimed plywood, and then filled with local soils, decaying foliage, and clay. In this hardened soil body are channels, eroded into being by a computer-controlled router. The name, Gravitropes, refers to gravitropism, a botanical and fungal behavior and growth response to the direction of gravity’s pull. The work interprets the gravity between masses held in tension as a generative, creative tug, and as a rejection of false notions of absence.

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. |
