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.

New York Enviro-Art Exhibition

This year, we invited the New York State Children’s Environmental Health Centers (NYSCHECK) to host their own Enviro-Art–inspired fast fashion children’s climate art exhibition. It was a big success—in collaboration with the New York State district of the American Academy of Pediatrics (NYS AAP), they showcased the artworks in celebration of Children’s Environmental Health Day and in support of the New York Fashion Act. Check out all the amazing pieces here
