AELA's Earth Arts Week - Celebrating Kinship

Join us from 14-22 November 2026 for AELA's "Earth Arts Week" - a celebration of how our creativity can help us connect with, and live in relationship with, the living world.

AELA's 2026 Earth Arts theme is "Kinship" and during Earth Arts Week, we'll be promoting in-person events and exhibitions, free webinars and other activities that celebrate kinship

WHY KINSHIP?

Human beings are just one member of the wider Earth community, and we are all connected and interdependent with all other species and ecosystems. ‘Kinship’ invites us to reflect, celebrate and be inspired by the creative, cultural, bioregional, spiritual and practical ways that humans relate to, and are part of, nature. ‘Kinship’ aims to enable us to enrich our understanding of what it means to be part of the Earth community.
