About the Program: 


The Eco Arts Council of the Quad Cities
was created for advocacy, education, and for the promotion of Nature and natural living lifestyle; addressing environmental issues, and using Art as a gateway to draw awareness to and celebrate our place on Earth, our home, and our relationship to it.

We provide an online environment that covers topics such as: Eco-Arts crafts ideas, environmental friendly DIY projects, recycling, re-purposing, unconsumption, organic gardening and farming, natural health remedies, frugal sustainability, etc.

Eco-Art classes are being developed and will be administered at various locations in the Quad Cities area including but not limited to traditional classrooms, libraries, non-profit and independent groups, etc.

Advocacy for neighborhood enhancement, open spaces, public Eco-art and environmentally sustainable development will be addressed on a as needed basis.

Creative consultation will be available to individuals and community members interested in learning more about living a GREEN lifestyle by providing educational resources, relevant products and contact availabilities.

Other ways the council serves:
· Advocating, demonstrating, creating and promoting works that celebrate the Midwest Region and Mississippi area life and environmental issues of our home in the Quad Cities area.

· Supports the Quad Cities as a place of creative and celebratory environments in which encouragement is given to innovative events, participatory arts projects and a destination for artist residencies.

· Believes that people’s sense of identity, attachment and sustainability to their hometown can be improved with these provisions.
