Carrie's Bio:
I facilitate powerful collaborative art projects that catalyze real environmental and social change. Recently, one of my collaborative art in action projects contributed to the passing of the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan AND a resolution stating we are in a Climate Emergency. I have worked with so many organizations and people who are struggling with apathy and lack of hope in light of all of the environmental injustices in the world. When they create art around these issues, collaboratively with other people, they are rocketed out of apathy and into action. This led me to truly understand the transformative power of art, and the power of creating something together that is much bigger than any one of us can do on our own. I am excited to help YOU create the change you envision in this world.
