Artists and scientists join to connect communities facing climate change

Artists and scientists join to connect communities facing climate change

Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder climate scientists collaborated with artists from across rural and urban Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ to create artwork featured in Coloradans and Our Shared Environment in Times of Challenge and Change, an exhibition at the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ State Capitol through December 2023. 

Eight art-science teams, the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Art Science Environment (CASE) fellows, crafted artwork that tells the story of how Coloradans are experiencing interrelated challenges of fire, drought, and water and air quality in their communities. 

The program and exhibition work to build a basis for connection and relationship among scientists, artists, and communities to support Coloradans in collectively addressing pressing climate change issues. The exhibition will tour statewide in 2024, including stops in Breckenridge, Grand Junction and Durango. 

The CASE Fellows program is led by the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement in partnership with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), Boulder County Arts Alliance and Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Creative Industries.
