New Publication Connects Women Artists Working with Environmental Issues, Methods or Materials
The newly updated 2006 Women Environmental Artists Directory (WEAD) provides environmental education and access to nearly 250 women artists whose work represents the diversity of approaches in making art that takes a stand that the planet matters.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2006
The Women Environmental Artists Directory has just released its updated 2006 directory. This digitally redesigned edition catalogues the work of over 250 contemporary women eco arts professionals worldwide, providing enhanced images of their artwork, descriptions of their artwork and practice, and contact information. The directory is widely available to artists, curators, writers, art and public administrators, educators in art and ecology, cross-disciplinary professionals, and others interested in this growing field.
“The WEAD directory connects ecoartists across the USA, and Mexico, Canada, Brazil, and Germany, ” says editor Susan Leibovitz Steinman, “This year we are excited to be including artists working with conceptual art, land reclamation, recycling, studio art, and public venues, along with bioregionalism, environmental education, eco-feminism, eco-spirituality, and healing.”
More concise than an art catalog and more informational than traditional directories, "WEAD appeals across the spectrum - it has been used by educators both in organizations and in schools, by ecologists and by arts administrators since 1996," adds Sharon Siskin, WEAD Board Member and Assistant Professor: Visual Arts at the University of San Francisco.
The Directory is available for purchase for $16 online through http://www. weadartists. org (http://www. weadartists. org)
