Following our successful 14th edition, the InARTE Journal wished to further explore the environmentally sustainable aspects that emerged in last year’s issue. For our 15th issue, we strived to give a space for artists to engage with the idea of environmental sustainability in their artistic practices. We desired for various art forms to intersect with each other and uplift each other under our collecting theme of ecological approaches within the arts.

The InARTE Journal would not be where it is without our prior executive members and the support from the Art Education department. I am deeply thankful to our 2024 Chief Editor Aimée Lebeau for mentoring me, and to Kathleen Vaughan, our faculty advisor for assisting the team in the development of the 2025 issue. I want to thank our current executive team for their wonderful contributions and dedication to the journal in order to make this issue possible. We also give thanks to FASA (Fine Arts Student Alliance) for their funding, to Queer Concordia for their generous art supply donation, and to Le Frigo Vert and The Hive Cafe for welcoming us in their space to host our events.
