Welcome to the inaugural ecoartspace e-Newsletter! We're
thrilled with the response to our new website and membership format
with over 70 members/subscribers in the last week since we launched on
January 25, 2020, the Chinese New Year of the metal rat. It appears we
are off to an auspicious start! When
Amy Lipton and I launched as a nonprofit twenty years ago, we
spent most of our time educating arts institutions about the pioneering
artists who were working in and with nature. We know now that there are
thousands of artists globally who have great concern for the health of
our planet, and that collectively we can have a stronger voice.
For
the next couple months we will be focused on growing
the membership and encourage you to share this newsletter with others
to help with this effort. The opportunity to provide you with the
resources you need, to expand your practice, will be exponential as we grow
as a community. That said, we do want to hear from you, want to know
what you are looking for, and what you hope for from your membership. February
will be a month of getting settled in this new role. We ask for your
patience as we upload blog posts and member resources,
including opportunities for residencies and calls for artists (a taste
below). In the meantime, please launch and participate in discussions in the Members Forum and be sure to add images of your work in your profile galleries!

about ecoartspace: Conceived in 1997 by Patricia Watts, in 1999 she partnered with Amy Lipton to create a nonprofit platform for artists addressing environmental issues. Together they have curated over 60 art and nature exhibitions, have organized and participated on dozens of panel discussions, and have given over 50 lectures, nationally and internationally. Since 2010, Watts has created Action Guides of replicable social practice artworks and has conducted video interviews with over twenty-five pioneering ecological artists. After twenty years, Watts and Lipton have decided to transform their organization into a membership platform.
