ORLO’S MISSION STATEMENT:

Since 1992, Orlo has been an innovative voice in the ongoing cultural dialogue about the environment through provocative outreach, education and media productions.

Orlo is a nonprofit organization using the creative arts to explore environmental issues.

Over the years, Orlo productions have fallen into four main categories: art exhibitions, live performance work, publications, and public awareness campaigns. These productions use the powerful medium of the arts to explore controversial and typically polarized social and ecological themes and issues. Orlo's focus is on fresh, often ironic approaches to the these themes and the search for elusive common ground. Orlo is developing programs that encourage understanding of cultural and social difference, and that promote dialogue concerning pertinent ecological issues.

Currently, Orlo’s focus is publishing The Bear Deluxe Magazine,
facilitating visual art at the Orlo Exhibition Space and elsewhere and
providing leadership in the field of environmental art.
