• Green Seed Arts

    Creative Ecology Hub

  • In solidarity with the global movement for regenerative culture, Green Seed Arts is a space for sharing ideas, resources, projects, and skills that support the rise of creative, ecologically integrated humans.

    Everything here is meant to strengthen our relationships with nature, one another, and the places we call home. It's easy to feel small as individuals, but our collective agency is wildly potent.

    Together, we make the world.

    Life is better with art.

    We connect local artists with care communities to create rotating gallery installations in shared spaces, giving one of our most vulnerable and isolated populations access to Santa Cruz's vibrant arts culture.
