Art enthusiasts and eco-conscious travellers can join a free online webinar exploring how cultural institutions respond to environmental challenges. Presented by Arts Council Wood Buffalo, 'Curating Ecologies: Art, Place and Environmental Sustainability' features a panel of experts discussing how curatorial choices, location, and collaboration shape artistic projects that address climate change and connection to the land.
Webinar Highlights and Speakers

The panel includes Andrea Valentine-Lewis, Curatorial Assistant at the Vancouver Art Gallery, who will present the curatorial vision behind the gallery's exhibition, Future Geographies: Art in the Century of Climate Change. Other featured presentations will cover key projects and perspectives:
