Coast Create
ReefBuds, Arts New Orleans, Glass Half Full,
A three phase Public Art project bringing artists to the forefront of protecting our coastline balding problem. In collaboration with ReefBuds Glass Half full, and Climate Culture, our creative programing re -imagines public art as efficient crowdfunding community interface. Creative catalysts of education, unification, and activation around creating effective solutions. With art used as a valuable incentive for positive sustainability habits, this project can be used to show your support in environmental initiatives.
“Every Year Louisiana looses 25-35 square miles of land to costal erosion”
We’ve got concrete plans to keep Louisiana’s coast strong
The Breakdown:
-
We begin with a 6 inch mold of a 3D oyster shell and begin hosting experimental creative workshops that allow guests to design their own shell
For 75$ participants get to design their own Reefbuds oyster shell from our mold and glass from Glass Half Full while also listening to valuable knowledge about coastal restoration paired with how they can directly help through our project.
This phase is designed to launch fundraising for Coast Create and spread our concept to communities all over New Orleans.
-
This program starts with sponsorship initiation and an open call for artists
-
Once we reach our goal of 7 Public art sculptures funded, designed, and installed into the public- We will have reached enough budgeting to begin designing our Breakwater Prototype. This structure can then be sold all over the world as a solution for coastal erosion and marine dead zones.
