Mapping Marton Wood

Mapping Marton Wood is a new creative programme which forms the next phase of our Marton Wood Slow Art initiative. Starting this spring, we’ll be collaborating with a range of partners, artists and communities to evolve new artistic approaches and processes as we learn about and work with this precious resource over an extended period. This creative ecological initiative will explore the multiple layers of the wood as a catalyst for arts-led environmental practices, outdoor learning and engagement, health and wellbeing, and cross disciplinary collaboration, whilst raising critical socio-environmental issues. The project follows a research, consultation and engagement process which has informed this programme. We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed to this work and look forward to sharing the next stage of the journey.

Slow Art & Environmental Issues

Chrysalis Arts began to address environmental issues and to adopt a more ethical approach to the company’s working methods and artistic practice in 2006/2007. The  development of a Slow Art philosophy and an increased focus on the climate emergency is now central to the content of our creative projects and to our CPD programmes.
