FROM THEIR MISSION STATEMENT: Earth Celebrations’ programs address and generate change on issues such as: climate change, river/waterfront restoration, water quality, species and habitat conservation, waste management, and the preservation of community gardens, parks, and a healthy urban environment. Founder/Executive Director Felicia Young has developed a successful methodology of “creative placemaking”, applying the arts, along with civic engagement, partnership building and environmental action. Earth Celebrations’ community art projects build broad-based citywide coalitions and collaborative partnerships bringing together environmental organizations, academic and cultural institutions, municipalities, government agencies, schools, community centers, neighborhood associations, artists and local residents to work together creatively on common goals, mobilize action, develop solutions and impact ecological policy and social change.
