Join Arts Council Wood Buffalo for a webinar exploring how artists, curators, and cultural organizations are responding to environmental challenges through exhibitions, public art, and community programming. Using real-world case studies, our panel of experts will examine how place, collaboration, and curatorial decision-making shape projects that engage with climate change, ecology, and our relationships to land.
