There is an island devoted entirely to the subject of climacte change. It is still under constucion however main building and conference room was opened for public last Monday.



It would be great to gather art connected to the ecology subject in one place and show it to people intrested in topic of climate change.
If your works are connected directly to subject of ecology (or are about water, air, energy, ice, plants) and you would like to join the exhibition please contact Skagen Vita till 25th of November 2008.
