About Us
Established in 1993, by environmental artist, sculptor and critic Francis Carr, the Network created a vital new platform for constructive dialogue between previously disparate disciplines, to encourage new ideas and projects involving the urban and rural environments.
The aims of the originally named Landscape & Art Group were to:

Improve our landscape and surroundings through art, design and creative activity

Establish local, national and international networks

Include all interested people and organisations and promote their interests

Break down professional and educational barriers

Provide a forum to air ideas and provoke debate

   Ten years on, the Network has evolved into the best resource
   for everyone interested in the arts and the environment

• We organise lectures, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, site visits and workshops
   
• We publish on-line the UK’s only Journal devoted to the creative arts, crafts, ecology and the environment
   
• Our Website communicates directly to our members with forthcoming events, news and opportunities specifically for members
   
• Our Website provides immediate global access to our work, with news, features, photo gallery, links and membership details
   
• We offer opportunities for commissions exclusive to Landscape + Arts Network members

The Network has maintained relationships with a wide range of organisations and venues including The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Forest of Dean Artists, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, The Design Museum, Art & Architecture, Public Monuments and Sculpture Association, Historic Gardens Society, Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust, The Landscape Institute, Writtle College, The Building Centre Trust and AININ.

Over the past twelve years we have influenced every aspect of art in the environment, including interdisciplinary working practices, creative opportunities, funding streams, academic policy, community involvement and international relationships.
