Great show put together in London by our friends at the Wilderness Arts Collective, bringing together art in the theme of ‘Changjng Landscapes’. Lovely crossover with PLACE, and for the weekend it was a chance for members to meet in person. wildernessart.org

The Moss of Many Layers was a massively enjoyable and meaningful project, with so much learning, story sharing, engagement and many seeds for the future. Great to share at yesterday’s @Nercscience event with Natural England Cumbria and University of Cumbria #peat #art #science #communities

Wonderful news!!! Curlews need a lot of help. This is a cause for a big smile, and like Mary Colwell says, more of the same please … in lots more places 🐦

Smiles all round! kategilmanbrundrett chatting with Pete Barron John Muir Trust as part of the Watershed conversations … one of five artists at large in the Ullswater Valley. Having a great time, learning loads, gathering inspiration for artwork. theplacecollective.org/watershed/

Another highlight in the #Watershed project … what’s in the water? What goes unseen? Thank you @DrEllie_Mackay! Looking forward to seeing how kategilmanbrundrett brings this into the exhibition. Glenridding July 19-21

ARC calls on the #humanrights community and the #artworld to extend the protections afforded to human rights defenders to artists who are on the frontlines of social movements and expand other safeguards for them. Read the report: artistsatriskconnection.org/story/art-is-p…

Fab work from Patterdale School children. A new story for Ullswater, with inspiration from Place Fell, Goldrill Beck, Bob the Raindrop, and photoplankton. Their work will be in Glenridding Village Hall, July 19-21, for #Watershed. Tx to somewhere-nowhere kategilmanbrundrett & the teachers!

And the conversations continue - a steady stream of visitors to the village hall, and lots to share about landscape, care, change and opportunity … and art.

Great to see you there today Tom Speight , and ponder over maps :)

A brief interlude over the past month, now turning our heads back to screens … but oh the sunshine! Hard to resist the pull of the outdoors.

This will be brilliant! Sarah brings tenderness & provocation to her performances. So lucky to have her with the PLACE Collective. Fresh from @kendalmountain this is the last gig of her tour.
