Creatives for Climate Art Exhibition Opening Reception

Creatives for Climate Art Exhibition Opening Reception

Presented by Creatives for Climate at The First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh

Creatives for Climate (C4C) artists Niffer Desmond and Ann Rosenthal present projects focused on endangered species through a coloring book and urban nature through a community-based ecoliteracy and art program. Visitors are invited to make their own climate pledge and become part of this interactive display to join the rapidly growing movement of people who are creating a more sustainable narrative for the Earth.

Creatives for Climate (C4C) is a Pittsburgh-based collaborative of artists, designers, architects and climate communicators and educators. C4C organizes events where people from all walks of life can learn about climate change and get ideas and hands-on experiences about climate action and climate solutions.

Niffer Desmond is an artist, author, and Earth advocate based in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Her artwork promotes global consciousness and instills a sense of wonder and stewardship for the natural world. 

Ann Rosenthal brings to communities 40 years’ experience as an artist, educator, and writer. Her work examines the intersections of nature and culture through timely issues, including climate change, nuclear waste, biodiversity, and biophilia. In 2016, she initiated LUNA (Learning Urban Nature through Art), a community-centric ecoliteracy and art program funded through The Sprout Fund.

C4C and its partner organization DearTomorrow (www.deartomorrow.org) invite people to make their own climate pledge--a promise to take climate action-- in the C4C Climate Pledge Booth and become part of this interactive project.
