2026 Art + Environment Summit: Under Pressure will take place in RenO, Nevada from April 16-18 2026.
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
This is our last dance.
This is ourselves.
Under pressure.
— As sung by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury
How do we consider the future of life on this planet in a present that appears increasingly unstable and fleeting? How do we move into a time horizon that sustains all life forms, is regenerative, and protects future generations? The pressure of our current moment seems ubiquitous: pressure on the environment, pressure on life forms of all kinds, pressure on nations and cultures, pressure on infrastructure and economies, pressure on space and time.
Highlighting commissioned proposals generated by artists, designers, writers, and visionaries of all kinds, the Summit will explore many interrelated spheres of interest: the vitality of animal and arboreal life; the preservation of natural ecologies; the impacts of the Anthropocene; eco-feminist legacies, and honoring the Indigenous wisdoms that have, for millennia, protected and sustained the planet.
During our three-day spring gathering in Reno, Nevada we will envision sustainable and resilient horizons together. An abundance of life-sustaining options is within reach. We can imagine and implement them together.
Price: USD$500 (Early Bird Registration and Members of Nevada Museum of Art), USD$600 (General Registration)
