As advocates of environmental and ecological consciousness, the artists believe in the necessity of unity and collaboration to combat the escalating climate crisis.

"We (humanity) are the threads of environmental and ecological consciousness. Inhabitants must come together, collaborate, and unite to prevent the escalation of Gaia's climate crisis," Chong affirms. "As a Climate Artist, my goal is to engage the community in meaningful discussions about climate action and forest stewardship."

Nuit Blanche is a multidisciplinary art event that transforms Kelowna into a vibrant canvas, featuring artistic installations, live performances, workshops, music, and exhibitions. Organized by the Centre Culturel Francophone de l'Okanagan (CCFO) since 2013, it serves as a creative laboratory, showcasing art in diverse and unexpected venues throughout the city.
