CAL-EA2009
As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor and ecological restoration. It encompasses a surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral "art in nature" sculpture designed to last only a few hours before returning to the earth, to community-based "eco-art" installations which clean up polluted watersheds and promote public understanding of local and global environmental issues.
The projects featured in the Environmental Art 2009 wall calendar were drawn from the global archives of greenmuseum.org, a not-for-profit online museum of environmental art. They provide a sampling of some of the latest developments in this field to stimulate the imagination and promote the role of art in the creation of a more sustainable world culture.

Rotations: Moore Estates
For this project, the artist Matthew Moore created an exact replica of the layout of the first planned community being built on his family's farmland in Arizona. With the help of his father, Moore planted a one-third scale version of the actual development. The homes were planted in sorghum and the roads in black-bearded wheat... Agricultural art allows Moore to begin to, in his words, "reconcile the urban with the rural at a time where many historical and cultural practices are in danger of being engulfed."
