Mission:

Artists With Ecology (AWE) merges art, ecology, and community action to regenerate land, culture, and connection. Through public art, education, and collaborative design, we create living works that restore ecosystems, honor Indigenous knowledge, mentor youth, and reconnect people with the places that sustain them.

Vision:

We envision a future where art is a regenerative force – restoring ecosystems, strengthening communities, and reindigenizing relationships between people and place by centering Indigenous knowledge, leadership, and land-based practices.

If you or your organization is interested in collaborating with A.W.E. please send us an email to info@artistswithecology.org

Garden of AWE:

This is an ecological expansion to the existing gallery space. Currently a work-in-progress, the vision is for the garden to serve as an educational example on sustainable gardening, native & pollinator-friendly plants, horticulture techniques and indigenous knowledge.
