They raise awareness about environmental issues in order to foster dialogue and promote change. The resulting dialogue between the artist and viewer speaks to the intuitive and transformational power of their art.

Come discover Art that Matters to the Planet at RTPI. Our annual signature exhibition, Art that Matters to the Planet: Interconnectivity , opens June 24. Inspired by emerging science about the underground web of roots and fungi which connects trees and plants, this exhibition features artists who explore the ways in which trees serve as a metaphor for our relationship with nature, and with each other.
