The Athenaeum Gallery invites DC, Virginia, and Maryland artists to explore concepts related to climate change. We are looking for a wide variety of topics and perspectives, but all work accepted into the exhibition will have a common leitmotif: optimism for improving our footprint on the planet. Works will inspire rather than threaten, celebrate solutions rather than scare, and explore new materials and techniques that help present a proactive message about climate change and productive ways we can meet the associated challenges.

Please let us know which piece best reflects optimism for the future of our environment...or just pick your favorite! The winning piece will be eligible for our "Viewer's Choice" award and a $500 prize.

One entry per visitor, please.
