About the Tidal Shift Awards
The Tidal Shift Award is a juried competition comprised of leaders in the field of science, advocacy, academia, and the arts, who believe we need new ways to address a crisis that is otherwise too easily ignored. Climate change is happening all around us, but for many, the crisis can feel intimidating and inevitable. But it isn’t true, yet. With prompt action, many of the most extreme consequences of climate change can be avoided or their worst impacts reduced.
We believe art has a unique role to play in solving our climate crisis, as it has inspired change and distilled difficult concepts throughout history. Our goal is to platform the young artists who may continue to inspire meaningful climate action. The time for action is now.
THE TIDAL SHIFT AWARD IS MADE POSSIBLE BY KING PHILANTHROPIES.
PRESENTED BY THE PORTLAND MUSEUM OF ART, MAINE.
