Ecological Arts at Cornell is an interdisciplinary incubator that promotes the exchange of ideas between contemporary art, culture, and the environment to creatively and critically address environmental concerns on local, regional and global scales.

Borrowing from a wide range of fields, including visual art, ecology, indigenous studies, climate justice, environmental humanities, art history, political ecology and economics and climate science, we promote engaged immersive learning in the field, support undergraduate and graduate research that values art as it interacts with these disciplines, and reach the public through exhibitions, lectures, and interventions.

As part of the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture at Cornell, students have the opportunity to access state-of-the-art research facilities and interact with cutting edge scientists while engaging in artistic expression.
