Eco Arts Awards is a collaborative volunteer effort. We are using our own resources of time and money to make this happen. We see ecology from an evolutionary integral perspective, which means its not just about the responsibility of individuals, its also about being open to new possiblities between ourselves. How do we want our future to look, then fully realizing we have capabilties.Please note the emphasis is on the WE. Giving artists a creative forum for full expression is a strong catalyst for keeping the conversation and the awareness about the big picture alive in culture. We also believe there is nothing like free creative expression to stimulate new thought!
