Two UC Santa Barbara undergraduate students created an art exhibition about climate change from the ground up—with no previous art experience. Fourth-year student Lukas Kraak and third-year student Noah Weiss were part of an Environmental Leadership Incubator (ELI) year-long course in which they were able to turn their idea into reality. Their exhibition is located on the first floor of the UCSB Library.
