Join us for a closing reception for "Laboratory for the Future" and a talk with guest artists Deville Cohen & Laura Lupton and Debra Scacco.

Individual Impact, Institutional Change shares grounded strategies for how small, deliberate actions can meaningfully shift the institutions we inhabit. Artist Debra Scacco will lead a walkthrough of Laboratory for the Future through the lens of her Climate Impact Report, tracing decision-making on materials, waste, emissions and community building that shaped her two-year residency within Public Works, and the resulting exhibition.

Scacco will be joined by long-time collaborators Deville Cohen of Artists Commit, who will introduce the group's new initiative Artists Commit X Education, supporting teaching artists in integrating climate responsibility into existing curricula; and Laura Lupton of LHL Consulting and a co-founder of Artists Commit, who has completed climate-impact strategy work with clients including the Getty, MOCA, Hauser & Wirth, and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation.

This event opens the new year with practical approaches for cultivating meaningful climate accountability and follow-up action—quietly, steadily, and from the ground up.
