We want to help our students and staff connect with nature. This Spring, the Sustainability team invite you to take part in our ‘Connecting with Nature’ art competition!
Whether you’ve been an artist your whole life or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome to participate – we would love to see your creations! Paintings, drawing, photographs or even sculptures are welcome, you just need to submit your artwork, or a photograph of it, via email to [email protected].
The winner will have their artwork displayed on digital screens across both campuses, and all of the top ten submissions will have their work displayed in the Poole House Atrium Gallery in June, as well as on our website.
The design theme for this competition is Connecting with Nature.
We’re looking for proposals that will:
Raise awareness. It’s easy to forget about the consequences and effects of the climate crisis when you can’t see it. Help bring nature to the forefront of people’s minds.
Inspire change. Art has the power to inspire people in ways that are more powerful and immediate than facts and texts.
Key elements to consider:
- What does ‘connecting with nature’ mean to you?
- Scenes, events, activities?
- Shapes, colours, textures?
