Description
World Forestry Center seeks artists, foresters, researchers, architects, designers, engineers, and visionary thinkers to submit existing innovative forest-based research and solutions for our upcoming museum exhibition: Forest Hope Through Innovation opening February 2026.
In this era of profound climate uncertainty, World Forestry Center is leveraging creativity, aesthetics and art to spotlight forest-based climate solutions as an optimistic path forward. This interdisciplinary exhibition highlights the aesthetics of innovative forest-based research via emerging technology, design, engineering, and imaginative science-art collaborations. It is designed to spark climate hope and inspire community-based solutions that support the sustainability of future forests.
By displaying research happening behind the scenes in incubator-type spaces, the exhibition becomes both a gallery and living laboratory; transforming museum visitors from passive observers into curious, playful, and critical participants in imagining solutions for a sustainable forest future.
Forest Hope Through Innovation demonstrates how creativity drives forest research and solutions. By cultivating a space for inquiry, collaboration, and imagination, World Forestry Center showcases the potential of interdisciplinary innovation while inspiring communities to respond meaningfully to the climate crisis. This is not just art or science—it’s what becomes possible when the two intersect.
