Patagonia Worn Wear Art Auction Fundraiser
Art Director
“Bringing a globally renowned public art project of this scale to our local community promoting stewardship for our oceans could not be happening at a more crucial time. We depend on the health of Monterey Bay, and public art is an incredible platform to share these important messages in an inspiring way.” - Taylor Reinhold
Ocean-Inspired Art Exhibition
“In Peril: A Visual Story of Our Ocean’s Greatest Challenges,” using pre-owned Patagonia Worn Wear products as canvases. With these products, a selection of the organization’s supporting artists has created custom, one-of-a-kind artworks highlighting pressing ocean environmental issues such as climate change, plastic pollution, biodiversity loss, and warming seas.
In collaboration with Patagonia, PangeaSeed Foundation is bringing a unique art, education and science experience to the coastal community.
These artworks were available for purchase, with proceeds directly supporting the foundation’s Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans program.
Ocean-focused non-profit, PangeaSeed Foundation and their public art program, Sea Walls: Artists For Oceans, invites the Santa Cruz community to bask in a family-friendly evening dedicated to our oceans. Stop by for a night of live art and music, film screenings, ARTivism talk-story sessions and more. In partnership with international outdoor brand, Patagonia, the event will be an inaugural fundraiser, announcing the non-profit’s Sea Walls Santa Cruz activation —helping to move the community into ocean-forward action through public art.
Q&A panel with environmentalists, artists and founders of the non-profit, Tre’ Packard and Akira Biondo. Along with art installations and panel discussions, attendees can rejoice in a bite and a brew from local breweries and food trucks. Santa Cruz-based artists such as Taylor Reinhold, Ethan Estess, and Caia Koopman will also make an appearance. Reinhold is scheduled for the panel Q&A while Hawaiian guest artist Kai’ili Kaulukukui will be creating live art onsite.
Serving as the community kick-off party, this event will give the coastal community an incredible opportunity to learn about the Sea Walls Santa Cruz public art activation coming to the city in September 2021, and how they can be involved in the movement through volunteering and/or donating.
