Free Event. Sea Change is a bold new two-year project placing climate action and creative practice at the heart of community life in Montrose. Working with embedded artist Eve Mosher and partners across the town, the project confronts how climate change is already affecting those who live, work, and play here, and how creativity can help us respond with proactive and positive solutions. 

About the Workshop

In this participatory workshop, you’ll hear about Sea Change project plans, take part in accessible, hands-on activities, and help shape a vision for Montrose’s climate-resilient future. 

Part of LandxSea’s long-term local climate work, Sea Change builds on the 2024 Coastal Erosion Summit and May 2025 SPRINGBOARD workshop, where residents, activists, and artists shared knowledge and imagined new possibilities for our shifting shorelines. Now, Eve Mosher invites us into the next stage: building creative responses rooted in place, memory, and collective care.

Do I need to book?

Booking is encouraged, but if there is space we will also accommodate drop-ins. You can turn up at any time during the allocated event time.

What will the workshop involve?

Participants will be invited to imagine their own dreams and designs for the Montrose area through writing, building and drawing, then collaborating on how these ideas might guide programming for Sea Change in the coming months.

Do I need art experience?

All are welcome. No art experience required, just curiosity and a love for this place.

About Montrose's Sea Change embedded artist:

Eve Mosher is an artist and facilitator working at the intersection of climate change and imagination. Formerly based in New York, she now lives in rural Scotland, developing creative tools to help communities envision and shape more hopeful futures. Since 2007, she has used storytelling, participatory art, and systems thinking to support collective climate action. When not dreaming up outlandish ideas for her village, she’s attempting to keep both the sea and the chickens out of her garden.
