Creatively Connected
We were the Creative Producer for Creatively Connected - a programme exploring high nature value farming through artistic enquiry.
The programme is part of Tees-Swale:Naturally Connected, a 5-year nature recovery programme managed by North Pennines National Landscape and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.
Key elements included:
bringing farmers, residents, landowners, ecologists, conservationists together through creative enquiry
exploring challenging concepts, combining different perspectives and amplifying nature recovery activity.
evidencing the value of arts and artists in non-arts settings
culminating in a dynamic knowledge-sharing event in September 2025

The Creatively Connected Team
The Creatively Connected project commissioned 5 artists (two working together) to develop a process of creative enquiry in response to the issues of nature recovery and high nature value farming.
The project included engagement with community and farmers, with each artist responding to a particular area of focus within the context of nature recovery. The artists worked individually but also shared approaches to their work throughout the project.
