art.earth was a family of artists dedicated to making art that looks out to the world and believing that art enriches the world and makes it a better place.

We were best known for our international symposia which included:

Language, Landscape & The Sublime (2016) (see programme)
Feeding the Insatiable (2016) (see programme)
In Other Tongues (2017) (see programme) (publication)
Liquidscapes (2018) (see progeamme) (publication)
Evloving the Forest (2019) (see programme) (publication)
Borrowed Time (2020 and 2021) (publication)
Sentient Performativities (2022) (see programme)

In addition we offered short courses, artist residencies and artist support
and for a number of years ran a gallery at Dartington Hall.

You can read our message of farewell and explore the archive –
a treasure trove of events, happenings, exhibitions and other stuff that art.earth did with its wonderful family from 2016 to 2023. Visit our YouTube channel.

You can read some of the many responses to our farewell message.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all who were involved as part of the art.earth family

and to everyone who took part or engaged with us.
