‘Every Day is Earth Day’ Activity Guide
To mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on 22 April 2020, Hauser & Wirth has joined forces with Jenny Holzer on a very special fundraising initiative. Holzer is creating a limited-edition print in an edition of 100, featuring one of her iconic Truisms – ALL THINGS ARE DELICATELY INTERCONNECTED – a timely message that speaks to the current global health and environmental crises we are navigating today. As Holzer states: ‘Every day is Earth Day’.
The project is part of Hauser & Wirth’s #artforbetter initiative through which the gallery will provide charitable support in response to both global and local causes. To acknowledge this important landmark in the history of Earth Day and the current situation in which many of us are isolated, 100% of proceeds of sales will go to charitable partners, split equally between the conservation initiative Art for Acres and the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO. To coincide with the release of the print, our education team have created an activity sheet for students, and people of all ages, to enjoy and explore more about Holzer's work.
