Celebrating 26 years of environmental awareness through art and community
Our 2025 Earth Fair theme celebrates taking action for environmental stewardship. The official artwork by Caitlin Hamilton cleverly depicts local wildlife—a bear, deer, fox, and squirrel—participating in a unified call to action with protest signs spelling out our rallying cry. This playful yet powerful imagery reminds us that all creatures have a stake in protecting our mountain home.
Though currently based in Oregon, Caitlin was raised in Idyllwild and graduated with top honors from Idyllwild Arts Academy in Visual Arts, where she studied under David Reid-Mar. She earned her BA in Art from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Her connection to our mountain community brings special meaning to this year's theme artwork.
Each year, the Idyllwild Earth Fair features a unique theme that captures the spirit of environmental stewardship. These themes are brought to life through artwork created by talented artists and are featured on our merchandise and promotional materials.
For 2025, our theme is "It's Time to Give a Shift!" as we return after a hiatus to continue the Earth Fair tradition.
