This
is a landmark month long series of weekend events that generate compassion for
the Earth and it’s inhabitants (animals, plants, minerals). Visitors to
the WAV Gallery become engaged, inspired and motivated when experiencing this
collaboration between the arts and a variety of eco groups promoting our
missions of encouraging sustainable living practices!
Yaaaay it's happening! Our hope is that the arts will evoke compassion
while Eco-groups teach us ways to act
responsibly and participate as PART of the Earths great eco-system… to identify
with it as we would our own immediate families.
The
Arts For Earth Foundation invites Eco-groups to collaborate based on their
ability to offer specific engaging activities. This event was created to
encourage active participation in environmentally sound practices. We are
generating a place and time for arts, eco-groups and area residents to interact
with each other in collaboration with compassion. We provide the
“eco-edu-tainment”.
Arts
For Earth Foundation events are artsy and environmentally sound.
Love and blessings,

Arts For Earth Foundation (AFEF) is
spreading its wings. We want to hear
about the sustainable aspects of life that mean the most to you. Are you a foodie and would a local food co-op
aid you in preparing healthy meals? Are
you a sun worshiper eager for solar power to replace toxic fracking and fossil
fuels? Are you ready to roll up your
sleeves to work an organic community garden, donating half of your produce to
the local food pantry? Or, do you simply
want to share your gift as an artist with other Earth lovers and tree huggers?
