GLOBAL DAY OF CREATIVE ACTION

Here's the thing about climate change: it's not just melting ice caps and rising seas – it's a crisis of how we see, think, and imagine our world. And while the suits are sitting in their conference rooms debating policies, we're sitting at the threshold, taking action in the most powerful way we know how: through art.

Welcome to the Global Day of Creative Action by Micro Galleries – a 24-hour worldwide creative uprising where artists and communities create locally-relevant climate crisis artworks, all on a single day.

Sure, you've heard about those massive art installations outside UN Climate Change Conferences in places like Dubai and Paris. They're spectacular, but let's be real – not everyone can jet off to these global hotspots or even access them online. More importantly, these works often miss the mark on how climate change affects your neighbourhood, your community, your daily life.

That's exactly why we're flipping the script. This isn't about waiting for big-name artists to tell our stories. The Global Day of Creative Action throws open the doors to everyone – artists, activists, communities, you – to create art that speaks to your local climate reality.

Picture this: For 24 hours, across every time zone, art emerges that tells the story of climate change through your eyes. A mural in Mumbai. A performance piece in Peru. An installation in Ireland. Each work is a powerful local voice in a global chorus, showing how climate disruption affects real people in real places.

When we weave these creative responses together, something extraordinary happens. We create a worldwide tapestry of climate stories – raw, relevant, and impossible to ignore. It's not just art; it's a global statement about our shared struggle and our collective power to face it.

This isn't just another climate project. It's a creative revolution, and it's happening in your backyard.

Want to be part of this global creative uprising? The canvas is yours.

Listen up, because here's the no-BS truth about why your art matters more than ever:

Climate change isn't some far-off problem lurking in the distance – it's here, kicking down our doors and ransacking our lives. It's emptying our wallets today and planning to raid our savings tomorrow. But here's the plot twist that changes everything: we've got solutions right now, solutions that won't break the bank and could catapult us into a future that doesn't look like a disaster movie.

The science is crystal clear: if we get our act together NOW, we can slash carbon emissions in the next 12 years and keep global temperatures from spiralling out of control. We're talking about keeping that temperature rise under 2°C – or even better, 1.5°C if we really hustle.

We've got the Paris Agreement – this brilliant blueprint for saving our collective butts from climate chaos. And while America's withdrawal shook things up (insert eye roll here), it also sparked something incredible: cities, states, businesses, and citizens worldwide stepped up to fill the leadership void. Because here's the thing – this agreement? It's just expensive paper unless we actually DO something with it.

And that's where YOU come in, creative rebel. Your art? It's not just art. It's action. It's resistance. It's your way of grabbing the climate crisis by the collar and saying, "Not on my watch." When politicians step back, artists step up.
When you create for the Global Day of Creative Action, you're not just making pretty pictures – you're part of a worldwide creative army fighting for our future. You're joining a global movement that proves we don't need permission from governments to take action.

Trust me, we need your voice in this fight now more than ever.

Your turn to make some noise. What will you create?

We've had two iterations of the program.
