The widest and wildest creative responses to climate change…<\/p>

…in arts venues, on streets, in schools, at festivals, across broadcast, film, fashion and music.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Led by Artsadmin and Julie\u2019s Bicycle, Season for Change 2020 was a major cultural festival and campaign celebrating the environment and inspiring urgent action on the future of our planet, in the lead up to the UN\u2019s COP26 international climate negotiations in Glasgow, November 2020.<\/p>\n

From June-November 2020, organisations and artists across the UK were invited to respond to the climate crisis through practical actions and participatory activities that spark public conversation about the future of our planet, and showcase solutions.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n \r\n Season for Change<\/a>\r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n<\/div> \n\n\r\n\r\n

“This is the year for climate action. The UK, as host to the international climate negotiations, has an exceptional opportunity to make a big difference. Season for Change is for people from all over the country to connect to the climate crisis and make our voices heard at COP26. Come with us.”<\/div>\r\n

About Season for Change<\/p>

Co-created with organisations and artists across the UK, the programme included digital content, new participatory commissions, performances, exhibitions, talks, film screenings, workshops and events. Aiming to reach over 10 million people, with participation from more than 250 arts and cultural partners.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Season for Change 2020 was supported by Arts Council England, which has partnered with Julie\u2019s Bicycle for over a decade to support the cultural sector in reducing its environmental impacts and in 2012 became the first cultural body in the world to make climate action part of its funding agreements for National Portfolio Organisations.<\/p>\n

Season for Change 2020 culminated in November 2021 when the UK welcomed delegates from over 170 countries to Glasgow for the delayed COP26, the UN\u2019s most critical climate negotiations to date. This will be an unmissable opportunity to showcase the creativity and leadership of the cultural sector on the most important issue of our time.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n<\/div> \n\n\r\n\r\n
