Art in the Landscape - the National Landscapes network's art & culture programme
Whether you experience the split second of peace before a thuderstorm in a city park; the sense of smallness you get watching a roiling sea or the night sky or the feeling of rootedness on returning to a place visited with loved ones throughout your life; if we are lucky, we get a few moments to really absorb these moments.
Artists have been inspired by landscape throughout history; from John Constable's Hay Wain - an image of the River Stour in Dedham Vale National Landscape to Ralph Vaughan-Williams' The Lark Ascending; and artworks have in turn helped us to a greater understanding of natural beauty.
National Landscapes Partnerships are working with artists to create opportunities for more people to connect with landscape on their own terms: through permanent or temporary installations, workshops for adults and children, poetry, music, performance.
