The Climate Museum
The Climate Museum’s mission is to inspire action on the climate crisis with programming across the arts and sciences that deepens understanding, builds connections, and advances just solutions. In its public programming to date, it has created an activist cultural approach to community engagement with climate, recognizing that most Americans are worried about the climate crisis but are unsure how to take meaningful action. The Museum’s free, accessible exhibitions, art installations, events, youth programs, and more have broadened the climate movement with an emphasis on community, justice, equity, and inclusion. Programs are presented at the museum’s exhibition hub on Governors Island, in parks, galleries, in venues citywide, and in 2020-2021 through virtual events. The Museum is currently scaling out to a permanent, year-round presence in New York City.

Each evening, millions of viewers see Endea Owens as the bassist in Stay Human, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert house band led by Jon Batiste. Jazz fans worldwide and critics know her as one of the music’s most vibrant and sought-after bassists and educators on the scene today.
