In the environmental realm, science and art are inextricably linked. While science determines how we measure the health of our planet, art allows us to visualize our relationship to the natural world. Art in Action collects creative interpretations of the state of our planet in word and image by 79 artists. Curated by Randy Jayne Rosenberg with text by Noa Jones & Foreword by Achim Steiner.

The Natural World Museum (NWM) presents art as a catalyst to inspire and engage the public in environmental awareness and action. For more information, visit online at artintoaction.org.
