There is a need to address climate change issues across political divides. This presentation shares how the Colorado Art Science Environment program addressed this need through a) structuring collaboration among urban and rural community-based artists and CU Boulder Climate Scientists and b) developing statewide networks to engage with the exhibition, “Coloradans and their Shared Environment in Times of Challenge and Change”. The exhibition tells the story of how Coloradans are experiencing fire, drought, and water and air quality. The artwork presents a dialogue between the perspectives of the artists, scientists and communities that moves beyond debates about climate change to make visible the connection all Coloradans have to the natural landscape and, through connection to place, to one another.
