 The Basics: Title: greenmuseum.org Author: greenmuseum.org URL: http://www.greenmuseum.org Date: 2007 Notes: At a Glance: This web site is an online museum that showcases environmental art from around the globe, which it defines as "art that helps improve our relationship with the natural world." By providing information about key artists and events in the field, the organization aims to raise awareness about environmental art and its importance, and inspire people to create art in their own communities. Through the site's wiki and forum, they also promote discussion about environmental art. Best for: Anyone who wants to learn more about what is happening now in environmental art or participate in environmental art-related events. The Artists portion of the site gives a comprehensive overview of major artists in the field, including biographies, artists' statements, and images of their work, while theCommunity section provides listings of environmental art events, opportunities for artists, and a forum for people to discuss in more detail what is going on in their areas. It also has a special section for educators, with suggestions for how to integrate environmental art into a school curriculum. Standout Features: In addition to information on individual artists, which can be browsed by name, country, category, or "curator's choice," the site has a large number of curated "exhibitions." These online exhibitions have the advantage of being able to bring together and provide access to geographically dispersed art objects, as well as large-scale outdoor works. Themes include air quality, water pollution, and relationship between people and the environment. Keep in Mind: Greenmuseum.org is a non-profit organization. The website is free and runs primarily on donations, which can be made through the site itself. While they have a staff and boards of directors, advisors, and curators, visitors are encouraged to send information to staff about art, artists, and events that are not included on the site. The forum and wiki provide less-mediated ways of sharing information, allowing users to create their own pages and contribute more freely. Suggested by: meganbd |
