Along with approving the new ordinance updating the town\u2019s wildfire protection code, Town Council also unanimously approved a resolution Dec. 16 supporting the temporary installation of climate change-related art in the village this winter.<\/p>\n

The art, which will take the form of a billboard with imagery and messaging that aim to inspire a different way of thinking about climate change, is set to be part of the Community Office for Resource Efficiency, or CORE\u2019s annual \u201cImagine Climate: Creative perspectives on climate change\u201d project.<\/p>\n

CORE is a Roaring Fork Valley nonprofit that aims to help residents save energy and cut carbon emissions to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n

Last year, a solar-powered LED highway sign with the message \u201cWe Are the Asteroid\u201d<\/a> was displayed in Snowmass as part of the project.<\/p>\n

This year, Lara Whitley, director of brand and creative strategy for CORE, said the nonprofit is collaborating with local artists and a company that created AIR-INK \u2014which captures soot-based exhaust from cars and other emitters to make ink-based art products \u2014 to spark conversation about climate change across the Roaring Fork Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a science-based nonprofit that aims to catalyze climate conversations and action, and one of the strategies we use is art as a tool for social change,\u201d Whitley said to Town Council on Dec. 16. \u201cArt has the power to harness emotion in a way that science alone doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Whitley\u2019s presentation and a short video on AIR-INK, Town Council unanimously approved to host the billboard project from February 25 to March 25 somewhere in the village, and a town contribution of $1,500 from the 2020 Snowmass Arts Advisory Board budget to the project.<\/p>\n

Whitley said CORE is working with Kelly Peters, local artist and owner of Straight Line Studio, to create the billboard, and that CORE will work with SAAB members to determine a village location for the temporary art installation.<\/p>\n
