Environmental art raises consciousness of environmental issues.
It teaches, discusses, questions and probes environmental subjects through the medium of art. The art work can range widely, from sculpture to paintings, collages, installations, music, performance, photography and everything else. Some of the most compelling environmental art work we have seen is located in the pocket parks created by the Village of the Arts and Humanities group in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Here art transforms neighborhoods by creating places that are healthy, constructive, imaginative and welcoming. Environmental art and urban planning issues are inextricably intertwined.
