What are Creative Economies & How can they help us restore the earth?

Creative economies combine economics, innovation, social values, and sustainability to improve the lives of artists and the world around them. But what if it was taken one step further, going deeper into the sustainability principle?
 
This is where Land Art comes in, championing artists and creators while adhering to a strict set of ecological values for both the organisation and the artists it represents. 

Land Art's Manifesto

“As an agency focused on helping the commercial and arts sectors to develop greener practices, we provide the following advice to all our clients on the best ways to produce commercial campaigns and follow ethical approaches. We hope to subvert the discourse around land art to enable audiences to use the terms as a way to use artistic expression to do better for the land we live on.”

Sustainability and Creativity at its core

Land Art Agency is Committed to Sustainable practices and even takes it one step further by requiring artists and creatives to maintain ecologically focused practices when creating their artworks, corresponding with Land Art and who are focused on green initiatives.

To give you an idea of some of the initiatives Land Art requires artists to use second hand equipment wherever possible, use environmentally friendly developing processes, and reuse hardware wherever possible.

Not only that, Land Art has suggestions for using ethical banking providers, every day sustainable practices, and encourages inclusion.

Book Studies & Discussions

Every fourth Sunday, you can join Land Art online for discussions on books whose themes are about restoring the Earth.

Special guests are often invited such as Rob Hopkins, author of From What Is To What If, and Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment.

To help fund the discussions a small subscription fee is required and preparations for the meetings are also suggested to make sure you get the best out of the discussions.

Books, Zines & Poetry

Land Art publishes books, zines, and poetry from a wide range of independent authors whose stories range from mushroom foraging to ecological conversations around entities.

All of the literature is accompanied by stunning artworks, both on the covers of the works right through to the internal pages. 

A great example of one of the creatives Land Art works with is the Night Wood Zine by Alexi Francis. It’s a ten page zine, with beautiful illustrations that capture a night of the full moon in a wood.

Inside the zine woodland creatures such as badgers, deer, and owls can be found, illustrated in pen and ink. With descriptions and text that hint at the scenes throughout the zine.
