The Artists Project Earth Grove

Artists Project Earth aims to create a better world by bringing the power of music and the arts to 21st century challenges. It supports effective projects and awareness raising initiatives to combat climate change and raises funds for natural disaster relief. To date we have supported 178 projects globally that are actively working towards our goal of creating a more just and sustainable world. From wetland conservation in Africa to coral reef replanting in Indonesia; from tree nurseries in the Amazon to protests against aviation in the UK – APE supports those people who believe a different world is possible.

APE recruits internationally-known musicians and artists – Sting, Coldplay, U2, The Killers, Amy Winehouse, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, KT Tunstall and many others – through albums, concerts, art exhibitions and art-related projects, to raise awareness and funds. Sales of APE’s first two albums have now topped the one million units mark, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for the charitable aims of the organisation. These albums have topped the charts in many countries and continue to sell well. The simple act of downloading a track of wonderful music or buying the Rhythms Del Mundo CDs really can make the world of difference to those people suffering on the frontline of climate change.

APE has planted 350 trees in this Corporate Grove in support of the 350.org campaign. APE has also registered the planting of these trees with the UN’s Seven Billion Trees campaign – and will continue to plant trees in this Grove to compensate for some of the organisation’s business activities which will inevitably include the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
