Unique Eco-Art Project Comes to Martin County

A cutting edge approach to addressing environmental problems using the creativity of the arts will launch in Martin County this spring, thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties to The Arts Council in Stuart, which you can learn more about in this video. The Ecoart project is a collaboration between The Arts Council and the South Florida Environmental Art Project, Inc. The project will launch on April 2, 2009 with a one-day symposium showcasing three highly successful Eco-Art projects, which will also be broadcast online at greenmuseum.org. A film series of short films and videos on the environment and eco-art will also take place. The exhibition will feature documentation of several environmental performance art pieces from New York City gallery Exit Arts 2007 show EPA (Environmental Performance Art) as well as the work of renowned Florida-resident Ecoartist Xavier Cortada. Cortadas contribution will include both an installation of red mangrove propagules and videos of his groundbreaking Reclamation Project.
