| Introduction | The EACQC has a mission to build awareness/knowledge about the field of environmental arts and how engagement can intersect with community building and environmental activism. “I want to increase an understanding and support network promoting art as a new platform - employing artistic methods in environmental education, awareness and advocacy while fostering a creative celebration of nature through Eco-Art. It is important to connect the energies and talents of local artists with environmental needs and activism opportunities in the QCA Community and world wide; as this planet is our home, and as artists, we derive much of our inspirations from nature and our relations to it. As a community, we have an awesome opportunity to celebrate every aspect of arts and it’s role in environmental appreciation and it’s impact on society” – G. Iaccarino, EACQC member. |
| Interests | EACQC Supports the Quad Cities as a place of creative and celebratory environments in which encouragement is given to innovative events, participatory arts projects and a destination for artist residencies - for advocating, demonstrating and creating works that celebrate the Midwest Region and Mississippi area life and environmental issues of our home in the Quad Cities area. It is the belief of the EACQC that peoples sense of identity, attachment and sustainability to their hometown can be improved with these provisions. |
