An exhibit series, and a call for action from over 40 Boston-area artists

Anni Lorenzini, Stand of Oaks

Erin Starr, Waters Scarcity

In recent months the effects of climate change on our beautiful planet have become alarmingly clear. We are seeing dramatic weather events all over the world, with disastrous consequences. Humanity, together with all living things, finds itself in grave danger.

Art speaks beyond words. It can help us see ̶ and live up to our humanity by doing our part.

 Shared Habitat Earth (SHE) suggests cross species respect, intercultural solidarity, and a shared sense of responsibility. Our art celebrates the beauty of nature and the worldwide efforts to save it, and exposes the conflicted relationship between humans and their environment.

Through painting, sculpture, fiber art and photography, the artists of Shared Habitat Earth dramatize the tension between what humanity has enjoyed for thousands of years, and what will be left if we don’t act now.

A cooperative endeavor of more than 40 artists, our shows include an educational component and provide tools for action. A percentage of sales proceeds are donated to selected environmental and humanitarian organizations.
