The effects of climate change are undeniable. Extreme weather events and environmental disruption now threaten life across the planet.
A Collaborative Initiative
Shared Habitat Earth brings together artists, scientists, educators, and environmental advocates to support awareness, knowledge, and action for our planet.
Art that Showcases Beauty and Reveals Connections
Painting, sculpture, fiber art, and photography highlight the fragile balance between people and the natural world. Through exhibitions, talks, and educational events, SHE celebrates the beauty of the natural world and explores the interconnectedness of all living things.
Creativity as a Force for Change
The exhibits encourage reflection and inspire action, offering ideas and pathways toward a sustainable future." Rooted in cross-species respect and intercultural solidarity, SHE channels creativity toward positive change. A portion of all art sales supports environmental and humanitarian organizations working for a healthier planet.
