Xavier Cortada’s participatory art practice is implemented through Cortada Projects at Pinecrest Gardens. Cortada Projects uses the power of art to engage the community in learning about and addressing important ecological concerns including global climate change, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss.Through exhibitions at the Pinecrest Gardens’ Hibiscus Gallery, interactive installations along its Colonnade, and programming at the weekly onsite Farmer’s Market, Cortada Projectsestablishes a platform for community conversation and environmental action.
