NOTE: Information on this site pertains to the 2019 event. This annual event ended that year.
In 2005, environmental artist Zach Pine was searching for an Earth Day event that was in keeping with his socially engaged art practice: creating models and methods for collective creativity; connecting people of all ages with each other and with the natural world; and inspiring joy, spontaneity, and environmental action. He decided to host a small gathering at Stinson Beach: the First Annual Free Create-With-Nature Earth Day Celebration. Thanks to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service, he was able to create an all-volunteer event combining beach cleanup with creative activities aimed at strengthening our connections to each other and the natural world.
Since 2011, partnership with the international music and arts organization Samavesha has strengthened and broadened the event, with musicians, dancers, and visual artists engaging with the participants.
