Art into Acres

Learn More

We are proud to support Art into Acres, an initiative that connects the art community with intact forest protection and the protection of historic carbon reserves. The organization has orchestrated land conservation on behalf of approximately 74 artists, including gallery artists Rashid Johnson, Mika Rottenberg, George Condo and Jenny Holzer, and 33 museums or institutions such as the MCA Chicago, Guggenheim, Kunstmuseum Bonn and MOCA.

To date, the initiative has supported the permanent protection of 72 million acres of old-growth landscapes in a range of Indigenous Protected Areas, Intangible Protected zones, Community Conservation Areas, National Parks, Municipal Parks and other designations. The focus is Locally led and Indigenous led projects that are Intact Forest Landscapes and corridor landscapes. Conservation biologists and non-profits are central to this support and donated funds receive matching funds from partner foundations. 100% of funds go to the designation of new protected areas including the biodiversity surveys, mapping, legal support, community meetings and local leadership administration.
