In collaboration with ecoartspace, the Crow's Nest is proud to announce an ecological broadside (poster) exhibit and campaign. From over 200 submissions we received from 80 artists in response to our call, we selected twenty-four visually captivating images. The original posters will be on display at the Crow's Nest gallery in downtown Baltimore along with printed broadsides to take with you for free. Downloads for self-printing are freely available here. Also read the Jurors' Statement and the Artists' Statements.

Themes of the broadsides:

• Equitable access to clean air and water

• Protection of undisturbed soils and

        regeneration of soils​

• Protection of communities against

        extreme heat and flooding

• Plastics Recycling/Reuse

• Rights of Nature
