The Enviro-Art interns and volunteers have worked together to create the 2025 Envio-Art project. This annual project is aimed toward youth in addressing environmental issues through artistic expression. It serves as a platform for young artists to express their perspectives and concerns on environmental challenges and solutions. This year’s theme focused on Fast Fashion. We received 90 submissions from kids across California in the following categories: 2D & 3D art, poetry, and photography.
