Mother Earth: A Vision Toward a Greener Future


Theme: Mother Earth: A Vision Towards a Greener Future

At Innisfree Hotels, we envision a future where sustainable practices become the norm and work hard every day to make that future a reality – a future where businesses become more than a means for commerce and become changemakers inspiring employees, guests, and communities to be more connected to each other and to their environments. Founded on the triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity, our sights are set on a world where people understand the importance of caring for our environment and how they can help to preserve this special place as a legacy for future generations.​ ​

We invite you as artists to help us drive this vision forward in Mother Earth: A Vision Towards a Greener Future. As artists, you have the unique power and ability to spark emotion and to create greater appreciation for the beauty and wonder that is Mother Earth. With its rich history of environmental activism and vitally important ecosystems, Amelia Island is the perfect place to imagine a greener future.​ ​
