About Art for Planetary Health 

Spearheaded by the Fleet Science Center and funded by the Prebys Foundation, the Art for Planetary Health project invited five talented creatives from diverse San Diego neighborhoods to explore the questions: What does it mean for our communities to be in harmony with the health of our planet? And how can we collectively promote environmental consciousness?  

The creatives collaborated with their communities to further develop and engage with their concepts, resulting in unique works of art reflecting the deep connection between personal experiences and the importance of planetary health.
