Anderson Ranch Arts Center and environmental group CORE bring together art and science to inspire action on climate change in a new exhibit.
“Imagine Climate: Artists on Climate Change” features work from artist and environmental activist Justin Brice Guariglia, who makes solar-powered highway signs lit with messages like “Global Warming At Work” and “Goodbye Arctic Ice.”
The show also includes work from eight local artists.
Mona Newton, the Community Office for Resource Efficiency, or CORE’s, executive director, says that she thinks that art can convey the consequences of climate change in a way that data sometimes can’t.
"Art really evokes a lot of emotions and it engages you in unexpected ways. So we believe that this will help us to spur action," said Newton.
The exhibit opens Tuesday evening at Anderson Ranch, and a satellite show will be held at the Collective at Snowmass’ Base Village. “Imagine Climate” runs through April 1.
