Description

Artists have a unique power to give voice to political protest. We are here to use that power to fight. We invite you to join us on the battlefield. “Battlefield 2” is seeking work from visual artists who are ready to combat the growing, human-made threat to all life on our planet. Work should in some way be relevant to this mission. Accepted pieces will be exhibited as part of a one-day fundraising event featuring workshops and speakers. It will engage attendees in a way that educates them and fosters direct action in response to climate change. 50% of proceeds will be donated to the Billion Oyster Project. We have chosen to support the Billion Oyster Project because they are an organization that directly improves New York City’s sustainability and local ecosystem. The Billion Oyster Project's goals are as follows: “By 2035, one billion live oysters will be distributed around 100 acres of reefs, making the Harbor once again the most productive waterbody in the North Atlantic and reclaiming its title as the oyster capital of the world.” To date they are responsible for: “30,000,000 oysters restored = 19.7 trillionGallons of water filtered = 72,500 Pounds of Nitrogen removed = 1,400,000 shells reclaimed & recycled.”
