The Women Environmental Artists Directory (WEAD) focuses on promoting environmental and Social justice art. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://weadartists.org/about-us )〕 WEAD was founded in 1996 by Jo Hanson, Susan Leibovitz Steinman and Estelle Akamine. WEAD has been listed among the best projects relating to Environmental art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/md2z/greenarts/artprojects.html )〕 and has sponsored a number of exhibits about activist eco art.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usfca.edu/uploadedFiles/Destinations/Library/thacher/archive/Earthly%20Concerns.pdf )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.losmedanos.edu/art/archive.aspx )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kbcc.cuny.edu/artgallery/Pages/ewead.aspx )〕 One of the co-founders, Ms. Steinman, is considered a leader in the eco art field and has participated in roundtables and artists in residences programs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://goddard.edu/news-events/events/artist-talk-susan-steinman )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.berkeleyartcenter.org/programs_Q4-2010.html )〕 and is listed in the sculptor directory of the International Sculpture Center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sculpture.org/portfolio/sculptorPage.php?sculptor_id=1000451 )〕 Another co-founder, Jo Hanson, was instrumental in founding an EPA Artist in Residence Program, which was aimed at educating the public about recycling. Another of the WEAD co-founders, Estelle Akamine, was also one of the artists in residence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/wastes/conserve/smm/web-academy/2011/feb11.htm )〕 Ms. Akamine's work has also been featured at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art museum store〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mocfa.org/store/artists.htm )〕 and has lectured at a textile lecture series. All three co-founders were featured in a discussion about women artists of the American West whose art was about current social concerns. The directory lists a wide variety of Woman artists, such as Marina DeBris, a trashion artist, Betty Beaumont, often called a pioneer of environmental art, and Shai Zakai. WEAD also published a magazine, which focuses on such topics as dirty water, and the legacy of atomic energy. A recent guest editor was Dr. Elizabeth Dougherty, founder of Wholly H2O, and speaker at events such as Pacific Gas and Electric Company conference on Water conservation〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pge.com/pec/water/presentations.shtml )〕 and Toulumne County's conference on greywater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://portal.co.tuolumne.ca.us/psp/ps/TUP_HS_ENVIR_HEALTH/ENTP/c/TU_DEPT_MENU.TUOCM_HTML_COMP.GBL?action=U&CONTENT_PNM=EMPLOYEE&CATGID=2651 )〕 Linda Weintraub was a contributor to a recent issue of the WEAD magazine. Ms. Weintraub is the author of well known books on art and activism〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artsci.ucla.edu/?q=events/art-activism-linda-weintraub )〕 such as "To Life!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520273627 )〕 and is an eco art activist. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women Environmental Artists Directory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
