Welcome to the 4th Annual Climate Palooza and the inaugural Climate Arts Fest! This full-day immersive experience transforms the West LA Community College campus into a vibrant ecosystem of creativity dedicated to climate action and community care.
Moving beyond traditional lectures, the festival invites participants to explore the intersection of environmental justice and creative practice through hands-on workshops and interactive exhibits. From art, crafts, film, music, XR, sustainable fashion, repair & mending, games, to seed and soil workshops, get ready to be amazed!
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and engage with over 30 local organizations. We are centering the work of Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ creators to ensure our climate solutions are as diverse and resilient as the city we call home. We invite residents, students, and artists of all backgrounds to join us in celebrating our planet and designing a greener, more equitable future.
The first 100 attendees will receive tickets for a complimentary plant-based lunch!
Spaces for our featured workshops are limited. Please register in advance to secure your spot and keep an eye out for more sessions to be added to the agenda soon!
