Climate Conversations

Climate Conversations invites Northern Rivers artists to collaborate with community and explore ways we can adapt, re-organise, and evolve in the face of climate change through the arts.

The theme for Climate Conversations 2025 is ‘Rising exploring the growing consciousness and urgency to meet climate challenges’.

Applications for Climate Conversations 2025 are now open and close 1 November 2024. 

$5,000 Artist Commission and Exhibition

Amidst soaring temperatures, swelling oceans, and escalating natural disasters, Earth's fragile equilibrium hangs in the balance. Rising reflects the need to embrace our role as environmental stewards and unite in collective action.

Northern Rivers Artists are invited to respond to the theme of ‘Rising’ and propose a collaborative community focused project and exhibition. The successful artist or artists will receive a fee of $5,000 to develop new work, additional funds up to $2,000 for public programs, and a one-month exhibition at Lone Goat Gallery, Byron Bay, in 2025.

Artists from outside the region may apply for the fantastic opportunity if they partner with a Northern Rivers based artist. Artists are encouraged to ensure the project idea is focused on community engagement and generating conversations with community through art.
