Bring Climate Quilt Into Your Museum
A flexible art, education and activism initiative that teaches about ecology and turns climate anxiety into climate agency and action – for any museum creating a climate exhibit – anywhere in the world.
What Is Climate Quilt?
Climate Quilt is a global youth art climate challenge inviting young people ages 10–30 to respond to the climate crisis through creativity. Inspired by the Norton Art Museum’s student art climate exhibit, and modeled after the AIDS Memorial Quilt, student submissions from schools and communities worldwide will be woven together into a traveling museum exhibition. A living quilt of youth climate voices from around the world.
Two ways to get involved:
Museum Exhibit – Work with us to create a youth art climate exhibit at your institute.
Education & Activism Partner – You’ve already got an exhibit in the works, and we come in to develop what comes next, the education and activism piece to guide your museum goers to after visiting your climate exhibit and seeking to take action.
Why Bring Climate Quilt To Your Museum?
- Once museum visitors experience your climate exhibit, they will be inspired to take next steps. We curate that process.
- Flexible: fits art, science, social studies, ELA, or environmental education – customized to any museum and locale
- Through ecosystem mapping, networking weaving and alliance building, we answer the question to ‘what comes next’.
- Digital tools and interactive methods woven into your museum exhibit to provide real ways to take action around climate – before, during and after your museum exhibit.
- Connects your exhibit to a growing global youth climate movement, resources and community.
- Supports social-emotional learning, climate literacy and community engagement at the exhibit and afterward.
