SHOWING IN OCTOBER...
Tasmanian University Student Association
OCTOBER 08 - NOVEMBER 03, 2024
The Second Annual Environmental Art Auction is running in 2024 thanks to Wild Island Tasmania with the support of the Tasmanian University Student Association (TUSA) and the City of Hobart. This year’s exhibition coincides with World Mental Health Day and Global Climate Change week, and follows the theme of NEXUS. Global Climate Change Week aims to encourage academic communities to contribute more to ensuring that the international goals to ensure a safe and liveable climate are achieved; while World Mental Health Day is the global effort to mobilise and support those experiencing mental health issues. This year we're bringing together the creative and scientific communities to explore the intersection of culture, creativity, climate and mental health. View the full 2024 catalogue here!
At the Environment Society, our driving motto is ‘Connect, Create, Conserve’. The Environmental Art Auction is both a celebration of the creative works and communities surrounding contemporary environmental issues, while recognising the intersection of mental health issues and urgency for conservation and climate action. From local to global, it is as an encouraging call to action for the academic community to pursue efforts together to tackle the impacts of climate breakdown. To contribute to these goals, all creative works will be silent auctioned during the exhibition in order to fundraise for Wildcare Tasmania’s Nature Conservation Fund. 50% of the proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to Wildcare Tasmania’s Nature Conservation Fund, while the other 50% will be directly paid to the individual artists. Bid in the silent auction until 4pm, Saturday 2nd November here!
Wildcare Tasmania is a community of members, volunteers and donors with a shared commitment to caring for our wild places, wildlife and cultural heritage. They exist to keep Tasmania wild. Wildcare brings people together for the important role of looking after our beautiful natural places and species, for today and for future generations to experience and enjoy. They have over 55 groups of volunteers around Tasmania, including the Bass Strait Islands.
