The goal of the symposium is to promote
public discussion and inspire civic action around the topic
of Sustainable Culture. A dynamic conversation between leaders
in a variety of fields - science, business, art, photography,
architecture, conservation, & government - will demonstrate
that the environmental art movement is really a social movement
happening on many fronts, both locally and globally.
What is emerging is a sense of a new consciousness
toward a sustainable future, and NWM’s role is to
demonstrate that the fusion of art and the environment is
a powerful synergistic tool for social change. We would
like to provide you with the opportunity of being recognized
as one of the leaders of this burgeoning movement.
The symposium’s format will emulate
the City Arts and Lectures extremely successful Conversations
at the Herbst model. Moderator and three panelist guests
sit on stage on big comfortable chairs and engage in a lively,
informal discussion around the topic at hand. Experts will
define for themselves just what Sustainable Culture means,
and the reach of its implications. Panelists will speak
personally about the lessons they have learned, emphasizing
inspiring and transformational real-world examples. It is
the belief that a true conversation will shed the most light
on this important topic, and allow for a thought-provoking,
interdisciplinary discussion.
