Info
A Climate For Art (ACFA) is a campaign that unifies the arts around the issue of our changing climate through divestment practices and community building. We see the climate crisis as a cultural crisis that requires a cultural response. With a focus on financed emissions – banking and superannuation – ACFA is focused on collectivising our response through tangible actions, as well as growing critical climate dialogues through a community of practice, built from an ongoing series of events, creative projects and gatherings.
A Climate For Art acknowledges the lands and peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nations that we live and work upon, in recognition that climate justice is intrinsically tethered to First Nations justice. We understand the climate crisis is a cultural problem in which we are collectively responsible for as creative workers.
ACFA was a recipient of the MAV Diasporas Program in 2021, as supported by Multicultural Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne, Creative Victoria and the Australia Council for the Arts.

Cultural Response
Through a dynamic programme of events, workshops and collaborative projects, ACFA brings together participants from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to deepen critical climate dialogue and encourage collective action. Our cultural responses aim to facilitate and inspire new strategies, build tangible know-how and strengthen our community’s capacity to drive meaningful change.
