Yarra Council wants to support artists and arts organisations to create and present artworks in response to the climate emergency.

Art that strengthens and mobilises the public response to the climate emergency. Art that engages, informs and inspires climate action. Art that makes the big idea of climate action personal and immediate. Art that makes people feel like change makers.

‘Extraordinary Times Require Extraordinary Art: Supporting artists to respond to the climate emergency' is a three-part program for artists and arts organisations who have a connection with the Yarra community and want to increase the impact of their work in response to the climate emergency.

Up to 25 people will be selected to take part in the program. Ideally participants can commit to attend all three sessions, but applicants who can commit to only two will be considered.

Applications close Sunday 24 July 2022 at midnight.
