Art, music, and fashion are also considered by many to be important aspects of solarpunk, equally important as future technology. As with everything else in the community, there is some debate as to what qualifies as solarpunk or not. However, some creators are explicitly labeling their projects as solarpunk or solarpunk-inspired. One example is the the band Sieudiver,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1EKpJYw2BYahfyE0saD03g</ref> who has a song entitled 'Solarpunk City',<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhKEZAlYcME</ref> or asanamusic's song 'Solar Punk'.<ref>https://audiojungle.net/item/solar-punk/13937263</ref> Another example is the artist Matt Zeilinger,<ref>http://www.mattzeilinger.com/index.html</ref> who created a piece called 'Solarpunk Girl'.<ref>https://anrbackchannels.tumblr.com/post/180653161232/matt-zeilinger-solarpunk-girl-portrait-of</ref> The Canadian performance artist Tonzi<ref>https://www.tonziland.com/</ref> desires to create a 'Solarpunk village'. She explains: "The vision is to spread light through music and solar energy. The ultimate 3-year goal of the magical music project is to solarize (equip with solar panels) a Solarpunk Village. A Solarpunk Village is a fusion of nature and technology to create a beacon of abundance".<ref>https://www.tonziland.com/#solarpunk-section</ref>

Solarpunk has a distinct set of aesthetics. Heavily influenced by Art Nouveau in shapes and colors; greens, earth tones, and bright yellows, golds, whites, silvers and blues predominate the color palette. Buildings and machines have organic shapes and integrate plants into their forms. Light, loose-fitting garments typify solarpunk fashion, although anything clearly DIY, repaired, or repurposed is included and encouraged. There are multiple blogs<ref>https://www.tumblr.com/search/solarpunk+fashion</ref> and Pinterest boards dedicated to solarpunk fashion. As of yet, cosplay has not yet played a large role as in steampunk.
