Harmonies of the Planet

In celebration of Earth Day 2025, The Robert Hitz Studio is proud to present Harmonies of the Planet — a season of art, community engagement, and global awareness dedicated to honoring and protecting our beautiful Planet Earth. The Harmonies of the Planet 2025 season brings together artists, activists, and global citizens for performances, gatherings, and acts of service to inspire environmental stewardship and to raise reverence, protection, preservation of the natural world.

​

This year, we are partnering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), whose mission is to preserve and restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its vast watershed. We envision our Chesapeake Bay with sustainable populations of crabs, fish, and oysters and with waters where our children and grandchildren can swim safely. CBF is funded mostly by individual donors like us. Donations large and small help support CBF's on-the-water field experiences for students and teachers, tree plantings, oyster restoration, advocacy for stronger laws protecting the Bay, and litigation against polluters when necessary. 

Throughout Spring, Summer, and Fall, the Robert Hitz Studio will host a variety of artists, musicians, poets, and creators from around the globe, sharing their gifts and collaborating with communities near and far. We believe there is no art without the natural world — and no natural world without art. Merging the two is not only meaningful, it’s necessary. Together, we must hold sacred space for both.
