Celebrate art for the environment. Sun., Dec. 4, 2-4 pm

Join friends and neighbors on December 4, 2 to 4 pm at Arlington High School for a festive free event celebrating two public art projects: the youth-led Remembrance of Climate Futures/Arlington and There's No Place Like Home.  Hear live music by the High School Honors Orchestra and Jazz Band, sample pizza from Za Restaurant and enjoy an art display. Meet the artists -- including high school interns who developed 23 "historic" markers with artist Tom Starr that imagine future events in Arlington.  These are not your ordinary markers. They bring awareness to what could be our climate future, including real challenges and hopeful solutions. Also on view, Artist-in-Residence Kari Percival's whimsical posters designed to support local organizations working on community causes such as protecting the environment and ensuring food security.

Electrify Arlington is a campaign to power buildings and transportation in Arlington with clean electricity in order to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The event will introduce participants to the Electrify Arlington campaign components and partners, as well as cover the basics of electrification, common electric technologies, and what incentives are available through state and federal programs. The event will also introduce the Electrify Arlington coaching program, through which residents can access free consultations with community volunteers about how to reduce energy use and install clean heating and cooling technologies in their homes.

This will be a hybrid event. Learn more here.
