LOVE NATURE AND EACH OTHER

Art as a shared language to bridge industries, ideologies, generations.

At the Marlene Yu Museum and Rainforest Art Foundation, we believe in the power of art to connect us—across disciplines, industries, generations, and beliefs. This is not a place just for artists. It’s a place for everyone.

Whether you're a child seeing a painting for the first time, a scientist studying ecosystems, an energy executive questioning your role in the climate conversation, or a poet trying to capture the feeling of a forest in words—we welcome you.

Someone once asked us why we would accept a donation from an oil company involved in fracking. The answer is simple: we’re all on a spectrum. A spectrum of what we know, what we can do, what we hope to do, and what we’re still learning. We believe people grow not through shame or exclusion—but through inspiration.

Art is our shared language. It reminds us of nature’s beauty, power, and fragility. It opens the door to deeper appreciation, broader understanding, and collective preservation.

We don’t just want to show you art. We want to bring you into a conversation—a movement—about the future of our planet and the role creativity plays in healing it.
