Art Roots Grizedale; Call for Artists

Art Roots Grizedale is a major commissioning programme designed to reinvigorate Grizedale as a centre of international excellence for art in the landscape. The Forestry Commission at Grizedale will commission 5 emerging artists to develop new work for the start of the Ridding Wood Trail, taking inspiration from the landscape, situation and the nearby siting of the former Grizedale Hall and its history as a Prisoner of War camp during World War ll. The successful artists will work along side a Lead Artist (Mentor) who will be commissioned to develop a suitable design for the overall form of the Ridding Wood Trail.
