Arts & Culture Day during LA Climate Week Highlights the Impact of Creativity in Fostering Change
LA Climate Week commenced on April 8, filling the city with community-driven events intended to motivate impactful climate action. A highlight event—Arts and Culture Day for a Living Planet—centers art and creativity within the dialogue. Scheduled for Saturday, April 11 at SkyXPortal, it will unite artists, filmmakers, and storytellers to investigate how culture can address the climate emergency.
Arts and Culture Day aspires to demonstrate that creativity is not merely a medium to contemplate the climate crisis—it can also function as a catalyst for change. Attendees can look forward to a full day of interactive workshops, live shows, panel discussions, artist dialogues, poetry showcases, creative exhibits, and more—all aimed at examining environmental topics.
The occasion also emphasizes rising creatives, especially those integrating climate science with their artistic practices. One visual artist showcasing her creations is Havilah Abrego, a marine biologist and artist known for her breathtaking large-scale whale paintings. Guests will additionally encounter Gregg Fleishman’s ANTIDOTE, an exhibition featuring functional art, collectible design, and impressive large-scale geometric structures.
“Culture Day is crafted as a space for connection, contemplation, and artistic exchange, bringing together individuals from the cultural realm, climate organizations, media members, artists, and the broader Los Angeles community,” state the organizers. “Whether you are an artist, storyteller, activist, policymaker, or simply inquisitive about culture’s role in shaping climate tomorrows, this gathering welcomes you to engage with a community redefining climate action through creativity and cultural expression.”
Arts and Culture Day for a Living Planet is organized in partnership with Artful Impact, Better Earth Media, Creative Migration, Entertainment + Culture Pavilion, Green Film School Alliance, Loving Hut, Plant Based Treaty, Planet in Mind, Rag Royalty, Climate Futures Studio, and With Love Projects.
