Overview
The CEL Education Fund’s Climate and Culture Program (aka Center for Cultural Power) works to increase the mainstream mass media and popular culture dialogue around climate solutions by supporting artists and culture-makers who are already operating in the realm of popular culture and mass media (defined as reaching more than 1 million people). The Center works with emerging artists and influencers to bring a deeper understanding of climate into their art by supporting their artistic growth and leadership. The Center will also expand climate understanding, inspiration, and community among established artists in the entertainment industry, and leverage the wisdom and experiences of frontlines and grassroots communities.
