Climate Art Collection

Based in Berlin, Climate Art Collection uses art as a starting point for getting the public to talk about climate change issues and delve into discourse about the global disaster currently unfurling. To address the human-made climate catastrophe, they collect artwork from different artists and give them a wide-reaching platform to showcase their work. Climate Art Collection routinely houses multiple overlapping exhibitions and showcases work from nations around the world, including Pakistan, the US, the UK, Canada, China, Indonesia, Estonia, and many more.

The organization’s main goal involves their pursuit to “collect and connect,” allowing anyone to submit work related to climate change to Climate Art Collection’s global collection. They believe that art is for everyone and should be conceived as a productive tool for the expansion of knowledge and creation of change for the purpose of sustainability and planetary safety. Ultimately, the Climate Art Collection is an international non-profit that curates, collects and mediates climate-change related artworks on a global scale. Through their rotating public art collection, they strive to make climate change and the associated effects perceptible and tangible.
