OPEN CALL FOR ART: The Lorax curated by Charles Moore

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.” 

The Lorax, Dr. Seuss.

Call for Submissions: “The Lorax” Exhibition

We invite artists to submit work for The Lorax, an exhibition exploring environmental sustainability and stewardship through imaginative and thought-provoking perspectives. Inspired by Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, this show seeks to spark conversations about climate change, deforestation, and ecological responsibility using vibrant, accessible, and impactful visual narratives. Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to submit works that engage with themes of nature, activism, and our collective responsibility to the planet. Whether through playful whimsy or critical reflection, submissions should foster a deeper connection to the environment and inspire action. Join us in creating an exhibition that challenges, educates, and motivates change—because unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.
