The Center for Art Education and Sustainability (CAES), also known as the Sustainable Art School, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of New York, United States. CAES' work focuses on the research, education and promotion of sustainable practices in art and art education and with aligning artistic lifestyle practices with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. What started as an experimental traveling program, has over the years expanded its horizons for the benefit of artists, art educators and communities internationally.
We have created conditions for people to develop sustainable art practices on many fronts, formed partnerships with fourteen entities worldwide (SDG#17), and established relationships with leading individuals in the fields of art education, environmental art, sustainable development, eco-art, law and academics and educators in 17 countries. We have provided professional development for educators in public and private schools, we exhibited in museums and cultural centers in 3 countries, we carried out online programs for artists and educators interested in exploring sustainable practices - which has facilitated unprecedented forms exchange and dialogue between participants from diverse locations in the world.
As we continue to engage artists, educators and communities in sustainable practices through art, we thank all the individuals, organizations and foundations that have contributed with funding. Many thanks to all those who have worked with CAES in one way or another.
