As artists, we recognize that we face a climate emergency intersecting with racial, economic, labor, and other forms of structural injustice that requires immediate and collective action.
Now, artists can take action.
Talk to your gallery or collaborators.
Ask your gallery if they have started working on a Climate Action Plan. Let them know that Galleries Commit has a plan that they can use and adapt. Tell them you want to support them in adopting climate-conscious practices.
You can also connect with other artists at your gallery about supporting this action together.
Submit a Climate Impact Report.
If your gallery is not ready to make a comprehensive action plan, a Climate Impact Report on a specific exhibition or project can introduce them to four core action areas - cutting emissions, eliminating waste, supporting staff, and taking collective action.
You can also use the report when working with museums and other institutions.
Make the commitment.
By adding your name to Committing to a Climate-Conscious Future, artists commit to:
Evaluate your impact.
Evaluate the climate impact of your activities and the practices that can become more climate-conscious.
Speak up.
Speak up to advocate for more climate-conscious practices when engaging with colleagues, vendors, and clients, making these conversations standard within the spaces we share.
Make yourself known.
List your name publicly to let others know that you share this commitment.
