CALL FOR ARTISTS
2nd Annual Climate Change Art Exhibit
hosted by the Waco Friends of Peace/Climate
 at the Waco Winery, 708 Austin Ave., Waco, Tx 
September 2018 


OVERVIEW
The Waco Friends of Peace/Climate is a local non-profit organization dedicated to direct action and education to combat anthropogenic climate change.  The goal of the art show is to raise awareness of climate change, emphasize that climate change is a global emergency, portray the ongoing effects, and suggest hopeful solutions.  We believe that art, through its emotional/spiritual/mystical impact, enhances the scientific understanding of the subject.  All submitted art should address some aspect of climate change.  To encourage all artists to consider submitting their work, this 2nd annual show will take place in a larger, beautiful venue, requires no entry fee, and offers cash prizes.
