Climate Postcards

2/4/2026-2/12/2026

What is your perspective on climate change? How does creative expression help you process thoughts and emotions?  
Explore these questions through art and conversation in a Climate Postcards workshop! 
You do not need to be an artist to join. All you need is curiosity and a desire to express your thoughts and feelings on climate change.  

Postcards will be displayed in an exhibition and closing reception this spring and used in a research project. This study aims to expand our understanding of experiences and emotions related to climate change and may inform climate action. 

Are you interested in contributing to Climate Postcards?
