Green Museum / Green & Environmental Art - April News
Apr 24, 2009

greenmuseum.org greenmuseum.org helps people create, present and appreciate art that heals our relationship with the natural world.

Hi everyone and Happy (belated) Earth Day!  Or since for many of you, it's Earth Day every day, this may still be timely.

I've been busy with conferences and side projects and we had some technical challenges recently that have made adding new content take a bit longer than usual (some details about my doings on our blog).  The Calendar info has been up on the site, it's just taken me a few days to get this blast out to everyone.  Thank you for your patience and for all you do. 

If there's anyone out there (especially someone living in the San Francisco Area) who might want to volunteer to help us add events and info to the site, please let me know.  I'll be posting an official description up soon, but if you're inspired by the thought, why wait?  

Despite the economy, this movement is growing speedily, new organizations and projects are sprouting up all over the place and greenmuseum.org is still standing under this incredible waterfall of environmental art abundance holding our digital teacup.  Our goal is to create a system for distributing more teacups so we can ALL participate in the collecting and sharing of information.  That will be nice...

So a toast to the Earth with our metaphorical cups!  May the word spread far and wide that there are better, more beautiful ways of doing things.

Sam, Kate, Moe and Tyler

PS- a BIG BIG BIG THANKS to Kate Weigel who has helped us add and send out this info all these years.  She'll be taking a break from teacup-under-the-waterfall duty and will be greatly missed.
