Annual Climate Stories Showcase

The Climate Stories Showcase is our flagship program and spotlights creative climate communication work produced by students and faculty from across the university. This academic-year culminating exhibit and event features visual and performance pieces expressing the stories of those who are affected by and/or taking positive action to address climate change. 

Students have created thoughtful and powerful climate stories works in a wide variety of creative media—painting, drawing, sculpture, theatre, music, poetry, narrative nonfiction, videography, photography, graphic design, and more. 

View some previous student climate stories projects on Instagram @ASUclimatestories, which is where we held the showcase during pandemic affected years.

If you are a faculty member who would like to engage your class in this year’s showcase, please email us at climatestories@appstate.edu.
