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.
