Forest of Imagination and The Big Green Draw Join Forces

Forest of Imagination and The Big Green Draw join forces during the pandemic to shine a light on the importance of nature and creativity in our wellbeing.

Harnessing the power of their collective message, and to promote the importance of creativity and collaboration; Forest of Imagination will work alongside The Big Green Draw, supporting a shared vision in response to the climate emergency, endorsing the positive viewpoint that a ‘Climate of Change’ is essential using creativity as a tool for change.

Working together the two organisations will harness creativity in its myriad forms, sharing a common belief that access to the natural world and green space is a fundamental right for all. Encouraging both audiences to connect with the natural world: to discover the magic, majesty and inspiration that exists within nature, providing us with a source of our identity and connection.

Local and international artists will bring a collection of videos, interviews, news and blogposts to support the importance of creativity, drawing and making to a broader audience.

The shared work will see both organisations reaching out to work with artists and organisations, encouraging them to respond to the climate crisis, through at-home re-invention, making, drawing, singing, writing and many other forms of expression. To further distribute their message of a ‘Climate of Change’ by building a radical and creative response together.

Dr Penny Hay, co-founder at Forest of Imagination said: “This is a a wonderful and creative collaboration with big themes and key messages in response to the climate emergency – it is an invitation for everyone to get involved in a conversation about our collective imagination and how we can work together to make a difference”.
