Focus on Arts and Ecology

Purpose of the articles posted in the blog is to share knowledge and occurring events for ecology and biodiversity conservation and protection whereas biology will be human’s security. Remember, these are meant to be conversation starters, not mere broadcasts :) so I kindly request and would vastly prefer that you share your comments and thoughts on the blog-version of this Focus on Arts and Ecology (all its past + present + future).

2021 Residential Facilities Internship


This is a unique opportunity to live, learn, work and play here at OAEC February through mid-December 2021. Interns participate in all aspects of community life and work 25 hours per week in exchange for a private cabin to live in and use of OAEC facilities.
The facilities internship focuses on maintaining and improving the infrastructure at OAEC. Tasks vary from simple, quick repairs to multi-week construction projects, which in 2021 will include the reconstruction of our historic barn which burned down earlier this year. While much of what we do is functional in its approach, we do not pass up an opportunity to employ an artistic sensibility in our work.

Priority deadline is November 1st, 2020. Applications will be accepted until November 15th. Early application is encouraged.

OAEC Welcomes Two New Collaborations

We are excited to announce that two incredible organizations are officially joining the OAEC family as fiscally sponsored projects: Peak Plastic Foundation and Celebrating Women's Leadership in Food. We are honored to provide support to their movement building efforts and look forward to a rich future of collaboration!

Now in its firth year, Celebrating Women's Leadership in Food creates spaces for women to celebrate, connect across difference, build trust, and create community to cultivate new forms of leading together to shift paradigms of power and meaningfully address ecological crises and social inequity. Learn more about CWLF's symposia and initiatives
Peak Plastic Foundation works to accelerate a decline in plastic production and pollution by developing integrated storytelling campaigns toward global action and policy change. PPF produced The Story of Plastic film and is currently building a narrative campaign for the Break Free From Plastic movement to provide a united and prioritized messaging framework that pushes back against the plastic industry's agenda of disposability. Learn more about PPF's media strategy projects
