Each spring, Artist Boat invites people of all ages to decorate trash barrels that will be placed on Galveston beaches. You pick up a bucket starting March 16, paint it with ocean-themed art, and return it by May 27. Choose from five themes: Ocean & Bay Organisms, Marine Debris, Coastal Ecosystems, Galveston Beach & Bay Recreation, or Houston Ship Channel. Winners are announced June 6 at the World Ocean Day Festival at East Beach. Registration is first-come, first-served through May 1. Your decorated barrel becomes part of the beach, helping remind people to keep the coast clean and protect marine life.

We've supported over 200 changemaking Fellows who share our belief that a better tech future is not only possible - it's ours to create. Whether embedded with civil society organizations or pursuing independent innovation, Fellows turn defiant optimism about technology's future into action.</p><p>These changemaking technologists, researchers, creators, and advocates are the kinds of tech leaders a better future demands. When the media needs tech voices that aren't billionaire CEOs, when communities need allies who understand their needs, when the next generation needs role models who prove technology can be a force for good - Fellows are those people.</p><p>Our 2026 Fellowship program will support up to 10 visionary leaders who aren’t just imagining better technology futures - they’re building them.</p>
