While ocean health is vital to our survival as a species, Art is an investment in humanity’s spiritual wellbeing. Engaging the arts—as an observer or participant—helps people imagine the possible and seemingly impossible; to find ways to articulate their feelings about what’s happening internally and around them. The purpose of Blue Ocean’s Artist’s program is to engage artists in doing just that: helping visually articulate humanity’s relationship with our changing sea.
Every day we make choices that affect our lives and the world around us. We believe that lasting solutions can’t be demanded; they must be inspired. And, one could argue, inspiration is the language of Art. Through Blue Ocean’s Artist’s program, we provide select artists a forum to explore and pursue the essence and importance of our ocean and environment through creative expression.
