Through collaborative projects, educational initiatives, and fundraising events, Artists for a Green Planet is bringing together artists worldwide to raise awareness, inspire action, and generate meaningful change.

Who We Are

Artists For A Green Planet is a global network of creative professionals who use their creative talents to advocate for environmental protection and sustainability. We are an organization of passionate people dedicated to making a positive difference in the world. Our mission is to bring together artists worldwide to promote conservation, inspire change, and educate others about the importance of protecting our environment. We believe in utilizing art as a powerful tool for change and strive to create a sustainable and equitable future.

Through collaborative projects, creative campaigns, and public events, we raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire action for a greener future.

We strive to create an inclusive, collaborative community that celebrates diversity and encourages creativity. Together, we are taking action and building an inspiring movement toward a greener future.

What We Do

At Artists for a Green Planet, we are committed to connecting the creative world with sustainability efforts to build a healthier and more sustainable planet. Through innovative collaborations and grassroots advocacy, we empower artists, art organizations, and other individuals to use their creativity and passion for the environment to make a difference in their community and beyond.

We work with a wide range of groups to create dynamic, cross-disciplinary projects that have real-world impacts. Our work includes providing resources, support, and mentorship to emerging and established artists interested in green initiatives and sustainable living. We also collaborate with environmental non-profits, museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions to share resources and information and create innovative programming that inspires positive action.

Our programming is designed to educate, engage, and inspire our members and audiences to participate in green initiatives and become stewards of the planet. We host monthly workshops, film screenings, panel discussions, artist talks, festivals, and exhibitions worldwide, each tailored to meet our community’s needs.

Through these various projects, we strive to raise awareness of environmental issues and create meaningful opportunities for people to make a difference. When creativity meets environmental responsibility, anything is possible.

Our projects

At Artists For A Green Planet, we are dedicated to creating meaningful art that explores the relationship between humankind and nature. Through our exhibitions, workshops, and media productions, we strive to bring attention to the most pressing environmental challenges facing our world today.

Our exhibitions bring together leading international artists and their unique perspectives on environmentalism. We present interactive installations, sculptures, photographs, paintings, and videos that explore our planet’s beauty and fragility. We also provide educational materials to help viewers further understand the issues addressed in the exhibition.

We host creative workshops for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our workshops aim to open up conversations about environmental stewardship and sustainability and equip participants with the tools they need to become informed and active members of the green movement.

One of our most ambitious projects has been the production of our feature-length documentary “Kintsugi - The Line Of Destiny.” The film follows a group of nomads living in the Sahara desert and Atlas Mountains who rely solely on natural resources to sustain their livelihoods. Narrated by Viviana Puello, this visually stunning film brings to light the plight of these people and serves as an urgent reminder of the importance of protecting our environment. It has earned Top Shorts, Top Documentary, and Best First Time Director Awards.

We also produce short films that focus on the environmental impacts of human activities, emphasizing how we can reduce our ecological footprint. In addition, we create educational materials to accompany these films so that viewers can learn more about the topics discussed in the movie.

Our History

Artists For A Green Planet (AFGP) was founded in 2015 by Viviana Puello with the support of a small group of artists who were concerned about the state of the environment and wanted to take action. To create a more sustainable world, AFGP began its mission to connect, inspire and educate artists, emphasizing raising awareness of environmental issues.

Since then, AFGP has grown into a global network of creative professionals. We continue to develop innovative ways for artists to use their talents to inspire positive change and help create a healthier planet. Our members now include musicians, filmmakers, photographers, writers, and other creative professionals worldwide.

We are driven by the belief that artists have an essential role in creating a more sustainable future. Our organization promotes green initiatives and provides educational resources for our members. In addition, we collaborate with other environmental organizations and support campaigns related to climate change, conservation, and renewable energy.

Earth Day Live Broadcast

Earth Day Live Broadcast is an annual celebration and call-to-action dedicated to helping our planet. We have been uniting a diverse group of artists, activists, scientists, and other advocates to share information and ideas about how we can work together to protect our environment and build a healthier, more sustainable future.

Each year, Earth Day Live Broadcast features a variety of performances, interviews, and discussions about how we can take action for the planet. This program is designed to bring together creative minds from all disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire collective action. In addition, we invite artists to participate in various projects and challenges, to amplify their voices and the impact of their work.

The Earth Day Live Broadcast also allows us to share our successes and challenges over the years. Our members have made incredible progress in advocating for our planet, but much work still needs to be done. By connecting on this platform, we want to continue to create meaningful conversations and real change that benefit our planet and its people.

“As a lifelong artist, I have always been passionate about connection to nature, which is why twelve years ago, I was drawn to live on secluded land in Northern Idaho.

Through my paintings and writing, I strive to capture the beauty and spiritual energy of this wilderness, as well as its transience. My hope is to spark contemplation in my audience about our place in the natural world.”

“Art is about sharing your magical world and let people be a part of it. Art brings people together and gives them a breath, a moment of poetic stillness. The world needs art.”

“To take my inner visions with my hands and create a work of art for you the viewer .... That is the ultimate in self expression.”

I am very drawn to shiny surfaces and transparent objects, especially when the lighting brings them to life. I look for beauty in everyday objects that most people take for granted or don’t see as they are. The seemingly boring and mundane subjects can be like magnets if portrayed in the right light.

The shiny metal is one of those materials that can host endless visions....the light hits it, and the reflections are captured on the smooth, sleek surface…an artist’s dream!”
