Thanks to the Jefferson Trust and the UVA Committee on Sustainability, Write Climate, in year 3, is taking art-for-climate into Charlottesville High School.

We are going into the classrooms every other week, teaching some climate science and then working with plastic. An afterschool art ‘club’ every week is open to anybody at the high school.
