Join the Climate Museum in the days following Sun Day to engage with climate art and be empowered to take action at the Nest Climate Campus, the official event partner of Climate Week NYC.
The Climate Museum will present a new mural by artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya titled “What winds carry and light holds” themed around the sun, the wind, and intergenerational collective action for a safe and just future.
The Museum will also host an in-person iteration of its caption contest for the famous climate cartoon "Yes, the planet got destroyed" by New Yorker cartoonist Tom Toro. The contest will be judged by Tom, and there will be prizes. (If you can’t make it in-person, your digital participation is welcome!).

About the Climate Museum:
The Climate Museum is the first museum dedicated to climate in the US. The Museum uses arts and cultural programming to empower visitors to recognize their own agency, creating a ripple effect and moving us toward a public culture that elevates the priority of climate action at scale. Its exhibitions and events meet people where they are and build community. The Museum is scaling up to a permanent home opening in 2030.
