What is AEA ?
Created in 2007 by artist Philippe Pastor, AEA Monaco http://www.aeamonaco.org/ is an association which uses art as catalyst for individuals, companies, communities and leaders to focus on the challenges the environment is facing. The association organizes artistic exhibits and events to promote public awareness and open up a public conversation on these important issues.
