DRAWDOWN: PATHWAYS OUT OF GLOBAL WARMING
January 6 – February 27, 2021
KickstArt Gallery & Shop | Farmington Hills, Michigan
We have just 10 years to heal the environment enough to reverse climate change. It may seem like a daunting task, but there are proven solutions out there right now we can implement. Together we can quell the supersizing of natural disasters. We can provide more than clean water and fresh air for future generations. We can course correct to thrive! Healthy and balanced options for clean energy, farming, transportation, education and technology are all within our grasp.
Cultivating thoughtful and informed perspectives, this gathering of artists responded to the Drawdown Project, a collection of the top 100 ways to reverse global warming, and created an artistic dialog around these vital issues. Inclusive, inter-disciplinary + collaborative, this lively body of work is the result.

About the Journey
The Art Kettle coordinated a unique art-making experience with a powerful project as its map. “Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions.
Drawdown’s mission is to help the world reach Drawdown— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.”
The artists read through the Drawdown book, gathered regularly to engage in group discussion, and responded by creating their own artwork. This lively body of work will be showcased in a traveling exhibit Drawdown: Pathways Out of Global Warming. Our hope is to build understanding and inspire action to implement climate solution strategies for a healthy, resilient and sustainable future.
