Atlas Fell: Youth Climate Art
Hello artists…
Storytelling through art is one of the greatest tools we have for education and raising awareness. Often, statistics fail to accurately portray the tumult of feelings within an issue, such as anger, fear, exasperation, hopefulness and confusion. When discussing the climate crisis, we want to accurately portray the extent in which our world will suffer, thus, it is crucial we invoke pathos along with pure evidence to educate and speak to the masses. As such, we are so grateful that you have chosen to partake in Atlas Fell. Below, we will highlight the requirements, along with a form for you to submit your work.
