Art Speaks for the Earth

Artist Call (submit your art in the form below)

Turf Wars calls for artists to create original artwork to challenge one’s self and the public to become better stewards of our environment. What would the earth say to what we are doing to her? Garbage, blue-green algae, plastics, oil spills, trash, emissions, climate change? What side are you on in humanity’s war on the environment? In what ways can you contribute to positive solutions for protecting our earth? What actions can you take for better stewardship of Mother Earth? How can you motivate others to act? Show it in a work of art.
