As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor, and ecological restoration. It encompasses a surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral "art in nature" sculptures designed to last only a few hours before returning to the earth, to community-based "eco-art" installations which clean up polluted watersheds and promote public understanding of local and global environmental issues.

The projects featured in the Environmental Art wall calendar provide a sampling of some of the latest developments in this field to stimulate the imagination and promote the role of art in the creation of a more sustainable world culture.
