Outdoor exhibitions include Brad White and The Sustainable Living Roadshow.  The Sustainable Living Roadshow is a caravan of educators, entertainers and activists coordinating cross country tours that empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable strategies for a healthier planet. Visiting university campuses and community events across the United States, the tour encompasses a fleet of non-petroleum based renewable fuel vehicles. At each stop, the caravan sets up experiential learning-village's, featuring workshops, speakers, and entertainment.  

Forecastle's 2009 Keynote Speaker will be Christopher Childs. An expert on energy, the former NACA Lecturer of the Year is the author of The Spirit's Terrain: Creativity, Activism, and Transformation, a book which offers ways to draw on creative spirit to change the world.
