Countercurrent is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit that fosters ocean stewardship through science-based public art exhibitions and youth workshops


Public art installations and workshops are powerful ways to reach a broad range of citizenry with important ocean sustainability topics.  Art transcends language, literacy, age, and background, and when done well, it can elicit emotional responses and critical thought.  

Picture
Our Theory-of-Change:
​We are an education organization, but we see our work as directly political:
  • Educated citizens make informed decisions at the ballot box for legislation and elected representatives who will do right by the environment.
  • Educated communities can have productive conversations about environmental challenges and solve issues internally.
  • ​Educated political leaders can negotiate responsible, sustainable solutions with corporations and other stakeholders- especially if they believe their constituents understand and care about the environmental issues at hand.

Art helps drives cultural decision-making, from fashion industry trends to consumer choices at the store; It is a pillar of our collective global culture, and Countercurrent utilizes its disproportionate influence to reach new audiences in meaningful ways to promote the awareness of ocean issues.
