This post is a bit late and I know, slightly off topic from my time in NYC, but discussions on sustainability, fashion and design are always present in my life. Last month, I participated on a panel at Seattle Art Museum. I am still hearing feed back on it and thought I should share it with you all.
The panel, Art, Design, and Sustainability: A Dialogue took place on Thursday, January 22 at the Olympic Sculpture Park presented by The Cascade Land Conservancy and the Seattle Art Museum. Moderated by Lucia Athens, with panelists Tom Kundig, Rebecca Luke, and Roy McMakin— The web sites of both sponsors will allow you to learn more about The Cascade Agenda–the vision and action plan of The Cascade Land Conservancy and the Seattle Art Museum’s art and environment programs, including Love Your Environment and Climate Day for Kids.
Several articles covered the panel and continued the conversation:
Grist | Starving artists: Art and environment panel discusses price of public art
World Changing | Pursuing Sustainability in a Style-Driven World
Daily Journal of Commerce | Design Perspectives: Art in infrastructure is not a pipe dream and Architecture, art, fashion – sustainable?
There is so much going on in our world and in both SEA and NYC combining sustainability and design…we can make a difference and save the world in style. RL
