‘Our planet is changing. The way we live our lives is affecting the environment, causing melting icebergs, rising seas and extreme weather.’
At the National Maritime Museum, we want to raise awareness of these issues and get other people to think about them too. With help from Cape Farewell andUnited Visual Artists, we’re producing an installation inspired by an expedition to the Arctic. High Arctic uses sound, light and sculpture to recreate the arctic landscape for visitors to discover and explore.
As part of the High Arctic exhibition, we’re also launching a competition – we’re inviting young people to reflect on environmental issues that concern them, and in groups to create a piece of art that communicates their concern for the environment and how the changes are affecting them.


Check out the HIGH ARCTIC exhibition at the museum too.. I need to get to that at some point between now and January 2012.
