We had a blast Sunday setting out the flags for the 15 acre art project to help raise awareness about climate change during the next round of international talks in Cancun.  Make a micro DONATION to help buy 1000 lbs of rye seeds and run the tractors to seed the project.  Johnson’s Backyard Garden

An inspirational, truly diverse gathering at Growing Power Urban Agriculture Conference.

Will Allen was a generous host to 500+ farmers, NGOs, city planners and activists for a weekend of great info and great local food.  Winona La Duke made a fabulous keynote featuring the quotation from her father:  “You’re pretty smart and formally educated, but I don’t want to hear your philosophy until you can grow some corn!”  Also Fritz Haeg made a great presentation closing with his newest focus on compost as artmaking.  He revealed a recent op-ed that he wrote suggesting that the White House establish the “national compost pile” — to be placed at the FRONT DOOR of the White House!

Austin Green Art’s art projects were well received and we met some great kids from Added Value in Brooklyn, and Leo from Grown in Omaha, and Leah Gauthier, a green art professor from Butler University.

Join us Saturday, September 18 at 11am for Pancakes and the Low-down!

Quenton, Ashley and Chuck helped hang the steel sign at Eastside Memorial Green Tech High.  We had to do some innovative positioning of the old gantry and truck to make it happen.

AGA submitted a Cultural Contracts application to the City of Austin for support of our 2010 thru 2011 Programming Season.  You can download the overview and choose a program committee to get involved with.
