Ecotopia is produced by Pangea Kali Virga, created in community workshops, and commissioned by Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

THE VISION

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens continues the tradition of summer art-making workshops with the launch of Pangea Kali Virga’s Ecotopia, an artistic space and series of FREE workshops focused on promoting creativity, collaboration, and sustainability. This initiative emphasizes that anyone can be an artist and that we can all make a difference in caring for our community and the environment.
“It is all made possible through shared resources and shared effort-- and most importantly, shared fun,” says Kali Virga, the creative mind behind the series. “Ecotopia puts art and environment at the front of the conversation on how to strengthen and build our communities. All are invited to come join us to build our cooperative Utopian Town Square.” The program is made up of eight community art events covering different disciplines, from painting and cooking to mending and planting, as well as a Finale Town Square Festival.

The events take place from July 8 through July 30, 2023, in the historic garage at Vizcaya Village.
The series is designed to highlight sustainable practices, the unique ecology of South Florida and the act of sharing with a cumulative finale -- the Utopic Town Square Festival.
