Our Mission
Kids today spend less time outside and more time disconnected from their environment. At EcoArts, we bring them back into relationship with nature—through art. Students sketch real plants and animals, create with natural and repurposed materials, and learn about local ecosystems like the Escondido Creek watershed. We’re not just teaching art. We’re helping raise creative, aware, and connected humans.
- Background in art, education, or environmental studies
- Experience teaching or working in a classroom setting
- Passion for sustainability, nature, or creative reuse
