🐝 Wherever you are in the world join us July 19-27 for the second Global GeoARTBlitz, a geography+art version of a bioblitz, which are regional or global events that encourage people to observe nature in a specific geography and upload their species observations to the citizen science app iNaturalist.
🦎
It will be fun: any time between July 19 to 27, 2025 go out in the field wherever you are and create a journal page, painting, poem, or music (any art) in response to your nature observations. Be sure to accurately record metadata: longitude, latitude, time, date, elevation, even weather.
🪲
You then upload your work to iNaturalist (more on that below). Our work will then will be mapped on clickable entries. If you create song or spoken-word art, record as a video to share, or contact the organizer for ways we can link to sound files. If you create visual art, poems or other written works, take a photo to share.
🦡
The Global GeoARTBlitz is hosted by the Royal Geographical Society Art of Exploration Collective —artists, naturalists, ecologists, and geographers dedicated to exploring nature and advocating for conservation through visual and other creative arts, from field sketching to poetry to fine art and music.
🌿
The results of the Global GeoARTBlitz will be shared with participants in the Royal Geographical Society’s Explore Week, which we encourage you to attend if you can - October 27 - November 2.
