OVERVIEW
The Arts & Climate Incubator is a 5-day intensive for artists, activists, scientists, students, and educators who want to engage or further their engagement with climate change through artistic practices. This year, we are thrilled to offer the program in partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts and York University. All sessions will take place on the campus of York University at 4700 Keele St, North York, Ontario, Canada.

WHAT DOES THE INCUBATOR OFFER?
Part think tank, part workshop, the Incubator brings together 15 to 20 participants of all ages and backgrounds to investigate the potential of the arts in creating a more just and regenerative future. Participants interact with guest speakers from fields such as climate science, psychology, activism, and urban design, who provide expertise on local issues. A group of local artists working at the intersection of arts and climate is invited for a panel discussion. The rest of the time is divided between group conversations, creative exercises, and field outings.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?
All disciplines are welcome and individuals from traditionally underrepresented populations and communities are encouraged to attend. The Incubator is an inclusive environment that supports diverse perspectives. There is a limit of 20 participants. Availability is on a first come, first serve basis.

FEE
The full tuition for the program is $500 USD/person. We offer a sliding scale for low-income participants. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships cover the cost of tuition; participants are responsible for their travel and accommodation.
