Inner West, a hub of independent arts and strong artistic communities, Inner West is an incubator for new ideas, innovation and emerging technologies. It is a magnet for artists, writers, musicians, designers, filmmakers and knowledge workers seeking an inspiring atmosphere and space to live, work, visit and play in. Strategic Vision projects the kind of place and community that the Inner West aspires to be in energetic leadership in collectively addressing climate change. work together on complex urban environmental issues and develop creative solutions through collaboration, partnerships and education. people should also get involved with their community. mean, after all we are the future of Inner West”

Impact of Science on Society | p. 25 The Wicked Problem ___________ArtScience_________
“There is a demand in society for instant answers in all branches of science and technology to problems of great complexity and, if the answers are not forthcoming, the proven methods of science are said to have reached their limit of usefulness and methods ‘beyond’ science must be found.”
Since the field of ecological art education is rather new itself, there remain gaps in the literature on how to best establish ecological art into a school curriculum (Kang-Song, There2009).
___________ArtScience_________Communication
has been little research conducted in regards to the attitudes and beliefs of elementary secondary educators who present eco-art education in their classroom (Inwood, 2005).
The issue is, that people do not typically react well to being told that they need to alter their lifestyles. By beginning to implement approaches such as ecological art education into school curriculums, students will have the opportunity to learn about issues such as climate change at their own pace (Bonnett, 2012), allowing them the freedom to form their own thoughts and opinions.
There is agreement, however, that once established, it has the ability to inspire environmental education with new ways of approaching environmental issues (KangSong, 2009; Inwood, 2008).
According to Kang-Song (2008), this encouragement raises students’ consciousness about the environment in respect to both themselves and others. Sparking this awareness at a young age may serve as a future vehicle for raising awareness about broader environmental issues and concerns (Kang-Song, 2009).
Connecting Art and Science: An Artist’s Perspective on Environmental Sustainability | Hayley Jean
By encouraging students to interact with ecological artworks, they are more likely to develop their own creative processes in a meaningful way that involves art, aesthetics and nature (Kang-Song, 2009; Inwood, 2008).

The Australian Education for Sustainability Alliance is an alliance of organisations representing teachers and educators across the public and independent school sectors, university staff and students, and environmental organisations. Their vision is to help create a more sustainable Australia by ensuring that all Australians have the opportunity to learn the skills, practices, and values of sustainability through the formal education system and throughout life.

Art and Science Museums currently available within Sydney have a focus on arts, science, innovation and design. They touch on concepts and the power of art and science, however, they do not offer facilities for workshops and hands on learning experiences and experimentation for scientists, artists and the general public to engage, learn and communicate.
FACIL____ITIES actively
There is a need to help document new scientific discoveries and make the abstract parts of science more explainable in order to facilitate and inspire environmental education with new ways of approaching environmental issues and combating human relationships with the natural environment.
STRATEGY
Two fields that are perceived as almost polar opposites can, and should, come together. Art comes from the free-flowing thought. It is subjective. Engaging. Personal. Science is the opposite. It is proof established within a well-formed system, with no connection to ensuring people outside the industry can understand the complexity.
To actively rethink the future To create a lucid connection between art and science in paving the way to mitigating our future environmental impact and how we can live more sustainably and tread more lightly on the planet.

Montgomery compares science and art to colours. “If one is yellow, and another is red, then alone they are simply two colours; But if you mix them , suddenly you have a palette of a rising sun” Sean Montgomery Make science fun and interactive in a way that provides opportunity to educate audiences about specific issues.

“High-quality art, like high-quality science, does not tell people what to do. Instead, it uncovers complexities that are not apparent on the surface. To overcome the knowledge-to-action gap without going down the dogmatic route, we need to empower people by helping them understand what is happening so they can make well-informed choices,”
