Halikonlahti Green Art is a collection of art exhibits which winds round the Bay of Halikko. This is a project which unites art with protection of the environment. The ecological thinking inherent in the exhibited works combines creative energy with aestheticism and ethics.
The first exhibition of Green Art Halikonlahti in 2006 received a lot of interest. It was the first of a series of 3 exhibitions exploring Art and Ecology in the Baltic Sea Region. In 2006 an ambitious exhibition series including films on Art and Ecology started taking place in the Salo Region of Finland – Halikonlahti Green Art. It began with works focusing on observation of the environment, the relationship between mankind and the environment, reflections on how people deal with their environment, and how people are taking care on environmental issues.
In 2008 the second exhibition will focus on water. Halikonlahti Green Art (HGA) takes us towards changing the way we think about our environment – from vision to commitment. Artistic practice means inventing creative ways to protect our natural world and living cultures through applications of ecological system theory and aesthetics. It means using cross-disciplinary tools (art, psychology, creativity, scientific knowledge, political savvy, marketing) to design new ways of living with the least negative impact, and with social and environmental responsibility. Artistic practice aims to offer interpretations and models of how to think about the natural world, and it suggests an ecological and ethical perspective that helps to promote sustainable future.
