About the Artist

Julia Foote is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary and multimedia artist whose work blends bold colors, nostalgic motifs, and dreams for liberation. With a background in climate organizing, Julia approaches her art with similar commitments to reimagining and envisioning a more just world, as well as a playful escape from present realities.  Her visual storytelling is her tool for social and environmental justice. 

Inspired by her own experiences with urban farming, Julia’s designs often center locally-rooted and sustainably-focused food systems. She has collaborated with environmental organizations, grassroots political advocacy groups, and small, local businesses to create illustrations that honor the vitality of human-land connections in everyday contexts.

For the 2025 Growing Urban Agriculture poster, Julia brought her artistic and environmental justice experience and distinctive style to illustrating a thriving vision of our state’s urban food system, where farms, communities, and advocacy spaces converge. She designed a poster that not only celebrates our present foodscape but imagines a more abundant future for urban growers across the state.
