Parley for the Oceans was founded in the heart of the art community, with early supporters like Julian Schnabel and Ed Ruscha creating new work in solidarity with our organization and the wider oceans cause. Parley has since expanded our program and collaborated on projects ranging from underwater sculptures to sustainable surfboards with leading contemporary artists including Katharina Grosse, Doug Aitken, Bharti Kher, Jenny Holzer, Pipilotti Rist, Walton Ford, Rosemarie Trockel, Keiichi Tanaami, Kenny Scharf and others.

Fostering collaboration within and beyond the art world, Parley works with artists and galleries to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of our oceans – and collaborates on large-scale projects to help end their destruction.
