1Sky and MAU: Partnership in Activist Art and Community Fun!

Exciting stuff has been happening! Obama will head off to Copenhagen tomorrow to participate in a "political agreement" that will set the stage for an international climate treaty sometime in 2010. In order to send a message, MAU and many other volunteer organizations around the country created works of art to express our support for strong climate legislation here in the U.S. and internationally. The Tempe MAU community created a 3-D sculpture project out of all-natural materials. It displays Obama in the center and play-dough renditions of all the individuals in our community who surround him with our hope and support. Others made oversized banners and beautiful drawn art. 1Sky held a presentation ceremony for all of our artwork at Civic Space Park in Phoenix. Check out the photos!

You can also check out the video from the presentation of art projects at the White House.



Thank you to everyone who participated in the creation of the art. Thank you to the Wieses for throwing the art party and letting us use your space for messy art making. Special thanks to Ashley Lauth of 1Sky who invited us to be part of this project, and supported us along the way.
