You are warmly invited to step into this year’s Forest of Imagination and meet RSA Fellows there to enjoy the installations and activities on offer.
We welcome you to engage with art and nature and to share your reflections on how we can reimagine education in the face of the ecological crisis.
Come for an exclusive insight into what is happening in the Forest this year to reimagine and reshape a familiar local space. You will hear from Andrew Grant (co-founder of Forest of Imagination and landscape architect), Peter Clegg, Luke Macnab, Mike Lewis and the FCBS team.
Join RSA Fellows and friends for a guided walk through the Forest, with prompts for imagination and reflection. You will receive some guidelines and the opportunity to share any insights about the connections between art, nature, and us.
Come to listen to an hour-long discussion about creativity in climate education with Margaret Heffernan, educators, and students from Bath Spa University, and find out about the RSA’s Youth Fellowship offer for 18-25 year olds.
Discover highlights from this year’s Forest and learn about our Playful Green Planet initiative. You will be invited to listen to stories from participants and share what links between art and nature might mean for you and our wider communities.
“The natural world is a powerful generator of childhood curiosity, and those early sparks of imagination are often at the heart of our life-long creativity.” Andrew Grant (Grant Associates) and Penny Hay (House of Imagination and Bath Spa University)
Forest of Imagination is a partnership between Grant Associates, House of Imagination, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Bath Spa University, working alongside the creative, cultural and educational community to reimagine a familiar space and highlight the importance of nature and imagination in all our lives in the face of the ecological crisis. This year’s Forest will take place at Entry Hill in the city of Bath, showcasing sculpture installations, artwork and interactive activities.
