EcoArt South Florida

EcoARt South Florida is a non-profit developed in 2007 to be a catalyst for making south Florida a major center fro ecological art and action.  Their goal is to by 2015 have "Eco nodes" in each of South Florida's watersheds.  An "Eco node" is an ongoing effort on the local level to expand EcoARt in a specific area.  EcoArt works with the local community, artists, scientists, to research and study what can be done in that area. 

What is EcoArt?  According to their website EcoArt is "art with a job to do."  They are working to create more awareness and action within the community.  Their goal is to have local commitment to helping find a solution to local or global environmental issues.  They stress that the purpose of their EcoArt is not to have pieces hung in museums or commercial galleries but to engage the group in the process and build visibility within the community.
