The call is open to environmental art in its broadest sense, including but not limited to green art, eco-art, land art, recycled art, renewable energy art, and any other form of art that explores environmental issues. All media welcome; new media encouraged. Indoor and outdoor works will be considered. Deadline to apply is March 31, 2010.
