the collab
Blue Earth is a collaborative initiative between Blue Robotics and Beautify Earth to create street art activations that connect people with nature and their community. We’re bringing underwater worlds to the surface to develop awareness and education of the beauty and impact of kelp forest ecosystems.
If you didn’t already know, Blue Robotics is super into kelp – it’s a versatile natural resource and cultivating it has a regenerative positive impact on the planet. We liked it so much, we started Grow Line, an initiative connecting marine tech with sustainable aquaculture farmers.
Our love of kelp also led us to teaming up with Beautify Earth, a movement to connect the world with street art for a more civic, social, and creative society, because what better way to showcase the beauty and importance of kelp than to paint it all over buildings?!
Each piece of artwork highlights and supports local kelp conservation, reforestation, and community programs with local partner organizations receiving 5% of donated funds.
the goals
With the hope of inspiring communities to connect with nature and each other, we work with local artists to transform cities into kelp forests with artwork that reflects their beauty and vibrant ecosystems as we recognize nothing thrives alone.
The artwork will consist of both small human-scale street art along with large, full-coverage murals. All painted forests will be placed on a map to explore both digitally and in person.
get involved!
donate your wall
We are looking for wall partners interested in supporting local artists and kelp forests by donating their wall for art.
Kelp will be the main focus of the art but may also contain ecosystem interactions with humans, animals, technology, or other organisms.
Donated walls become part of Beautify Earth’s community wall trust which is a collection of public walls dedicated to the benefit of the community and creative expression.
sponsor a painted kelp forest
This work would not be possible without business, city, NGO, and individual sponsors who take the initiative to invest in public art and marine ecosystems. Sponsoring a painted kelp forest supports the conservation and reforestation of local kelp forests through both financial and community support.
Blue Earth’s street art initiatives drive community awareness and engagement by creating art that weaves naturally into the city landscape and emphasizes kelp’s beauty and vital role in ecosystems and culture.
For more information on sponsorships and donations, check out Beautify Earth’s website!
become a local partner
Local partners and their work in communities is key to connecting Blue Earth’s global activations to local initiatives. We believe connecting with and supporting our natural environment starts in local communities which motivates Blue Earth’s approach to supporting local community groups and initiatives.
We aim to bring awareness and monetary support to local partners through public art activations and community programming that connects art and the environment. If your organization works with local communities, reforestation, or conservation and you’re interested in bringing your work to life through public art please get in touch!
