Coldstream Nature-Based Arts
Art can connect us to nature, and build our vision and understanding of ecosystems and relationships. As part of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) we want to support conservation and restoration awareness through nature-based art.
To create a healthy environment that benefits both people and nature, we believe that investing in communities is critically important.
That is why we are putting our money where our mouth is and launching Coldstream Nature-Based Arts as a thank you to organizations and communities that partner with us on conservation and restoration projects.
What is Coldstream Nature-Based Arts?
Coldstream Nature-Based Arts will work with partner organizations and communities to generate interest, awareness, and opportunity for local artists. We pledge to invest, showcase, and promote local art that builds connections between people and nature as part of our business model for Coldstream Nature-Based Solutions.
Each Art Competition will focus on a nature-based theme coming from the collaborative restoration projects between Coldstream and our client. Local artists that meet the eligibility requirements will be able to enter their art into the competition and will receive cash prizes and website promotions for their art if they are chosen as the winner(s).
We will elevate and empower artists so that their messages about the importance of nature can be heard. We want to be a role model for other companies to demonstrate what stewardship and partnership with nature and with communities looks like.
Detailed descriptions of the art competition rules and eligibility requirements will be released to partnering organizations and communities as these are developed. This is a work in progress!
Our Goals:
Coldstream Nature-Based Solutions creates abundance in nature through collaborative restoration projects with our partners.
Coldstream Nature-Based Arts creates awareness of the incredible power of nature to unite and inspire us all into taking actions through the arts.
Together, we are creating a vision of unity and connection to the natural world using nature-based arts, conservation and restoration.
We are giving back to the organizations and communities that have supported us by expanding the opportunities for artists to reach more people and have a greater impact from their nature-based arts.
Eligibility:
At this time, eligibility for the Nature-Based Arts competitions will be limited to Coldstream Nature-Based Solutions project partners and partnering communities. In the future we hope to have corporate sponsorships for other nature-based art competitions.
