In partnership with environmentalist and musician Gabriella Smith, Art Club brings climate conscious art-making to the Walker. Local artists Raquel Santamaria Germani, Shea Maze, and Vernon Vanderwood, whose work supports sustainable art-making practices, host drop-in art-making sessions in a communal setting centered around preservation, upcycling, zero-waste, and more. While you craft, peruse a small selection of books on environmentalism and enjoy three pop-up performances by violinist Eunice Kim at 6, 6:30, and 7 pm.
In addition to art-making in the Cargill Lounge, the Mediatheque will offer a complete screening of Project Drawdown’s The Drawdown Roadmap: Using Science to Guide Climate Action. This four-part series is a science-based strategy for accelerating climate solutions. It points to which climate actions governments, businesses, investors, philanthropists, community organizations, and others should prioritize to make the most of our efforts to stop climate change.
