Participation is at the heart of Creative Landscapes!

The project grows through the people who take part in it: artists, educators, cultural workers, students, and residents of the local community who want to explore how creativity can nurture ecological awareness, collective learning, and sustainable living. Every participant, regardless of background or experience, contributes to shaping a shared process of cultural and environmental transformation.

You can join us in different ways: by applying for our Art & Ecology Residencies, taking part in training programs for cultural and educational professionals, engaging in community workshops and public programs, or contributing to collective events such as the Terrapolis Festival.

The Art & Ecology Residencies take place in two rural contexts, Borgo di Colle Ameno in Sasso Marconi (Italy) and the Misko Uostas cultural space in Svencioneliai (Lithuania). Through open calls, CL invites artists from Italy and Lithuania working in different disciplines to spend time in residence, working closely with the natural and social environments of these territories. During the residencies, artists are encouraged to develop site-specific projects that respond to the ecological and cultural particularities of each place. They will collaborate with local communities, schools, and associations, creating workshops, installations, or performances that translate research into shared experiences. These residencies are spaces of mutual learning, where residents, visitors, and inhabitants come together to imagine alternative ways of inhabiting and caring for the land. 

Whether you are an artist researching ecology issues or a community resident eager to engage with your local landscape, your contribution is essential: participation is not limited to formal programs but anyone can attend our events, follow the project online, or connect with us through workshops and community gatherings.

By joining Creative Landscapes, you become part of a transnational community that values cooperation, ecological responsibility, and creative freedom: together, we aim to build new models of learning and cultural engagement that respond to the environmental and social challenges of our time.
