Join us this Sunday, April 21, during the final weekend of the exhibition, for an Earth Day Celebration of creativity and community. We’re presenting a full day of activities for all ages, and you can also drop in anytime to see the show. Snacks and refreshments will be served, and as always, the Museum’s show and programming are free and open to everyone.

Please RSVP below so we can plan well!

At our all-day watercoloring station, take inspiration from the exhibition’s mural by R. Gregory Christie, Making Tomorrow, or paint your own vision of a climate-safe and just future. This activity will be led by our curatorial team, Amanda Nesci and Anais Reyes. (We learned a lot from artist Nicole Kelner in last year’s watercoloring workshop. Thank you, Nicole! This year’s workshop is not about SolarPunk, but it’s still about envisioning a better climate future.)

Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned poet, explore your climate creativity through a poetry workshop drawing on elements of the show at 2pm. Open to middle-school-age through adult visitors; no prior experience necessary. This workshop will be led by John Linstrom, the Museum’s Mellon Fellow in Climate Humanities and Social Justice. (His poetry collection To Leave for Our Own Country has just hit the shelves—you’ll be in good hands!) 

Speed-friending, a visitor favorite, is back at 4pm! Talk climate with a range of kindred spirits, share climate origin stories, and meet new climate-interested friends. Open to high-school-age through adult visitors, and no prior experience necessary. This activity will be led by our youth and public programs team, Tricia Brown and Prisca Dognon. (Note: Speed-friending often gets loud! If you’re hoping to visit the exhibition without distraction, we recommend avoiding 4-4:45pm.)

The backdrop to all of these activities is the final weekend of THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL, which closes on April 25. Learn about the fossil fuel industry, the movement for climate and environmental justice, and the climate supermajority in the US.
