New from the GIA Reader: Alexis Frasz on the Intersection of Arts and Environment
GIA Reader, Vol. 27, No. 3 (Fall 2016)
The latest issue of the GIA Reader features two articles by Alexis Frasz, codirector of Helicon Collaborative, about the movement for arts and environment. The first article recaps GIA’s Arts and Environmental Sustainability Thought Leader Forum, which brought together arts and environmental funders to discuss cross-sector work. The second is an interview with one of the environmental thought leaders from that day, Anthony Leiserowitz, PhD, about how art can change how we think about climate change.
