PangeaSeed Foundation, in collaboration with Clean Sweep Frederiksted, will be making waves in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands with their public art program, “Sea Walls: Artists For Oceans.” For their ten-day public art program, the non-profit has partnered with The Ocean Agency’s Glowing Glowing Gone campaign in order to raise public awareness of the urgent crisis facing coral reefs in the Caribbean and around the world.
Richard Vevers, founder and CEO of The Ocean Agency, will join the artist collective in St. Croix to help facilitate various public outreach events, including workshops and a screening of the Chasing Coral documentary followed by a panel discussion at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts. The Sea Walls team aims to paint the first Glowing Glowing Gone x Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans mural in the town of Frederiksted, incorporating their Glowing Colors of Climate Action to call for climate and ocean action through public art.
