The Wilderness Art Collective — a non-profit organisation run by volunteers — is a group of creatives, artists, explorers and environmentalists whose work discusses the natural world.
Founded in 2018, the Collective's goals are to highlight the plight of the world's wildernesses and wildlife; to act as a space for discussion about our interaction with the environment; to encourage re-engagement with the natural landscape; and to promote preservation and care through art and other creative endeavours.
The Collective
Collective members are multi disciplinarians whose techniques form a broad range of specialties including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, writing, digital techniques, film, sound and music.

Our story, ethos and values
Unite
The Wilderness Art Collective was set up to unite creatives, scientists, organisations and individuals in discussing the plight of the world's wildernesses and wildlife. The Collective acts as a space for debate about our interaction with the environment and promotes preservation and care through art and other creative endeavours.
Inspire
We believe that art can act as a thought-provoking communication channel to discuss messages around conservation and our reciprocal relationship with the natural landscape around us. Through art and through forging new relationships, we intend to inspire people to realise the value of our natural landscapes and to galvanise change for the future.

Share
Inclusivity and inspiring conversations are important parts of the Collective: we love working with both partners and charities to forge relationships in order to best share our, and our friends, values and stories.
