Chilterns Landscapes: Art inspired by the Chilterns

In May 2022, we held a Chilterns Landscapes festival, showcasing the relationship between artists of all abilities and the gently undulating, rich chalk landscape of the Central Chilterns.

The art exhibition was held at Wycombe Museum for a week and consisted of three parts; a selection of fine art from local and national museums (reproduced), a schools art competition and a sample of work from local and amateur artists.

The art on display was to celebrate the distinctive wildlife and natural environment of the Chilterns AONB as well as the cultural heritage.

The week finished with an award giving ceremony, with prizes being awarded to the winners of the schools competition and the contemporary submissions.

Children's Art Competition

One of our main aims is to inspire the next generation to feel a connection with their local landscape within the Central Chilterns.

We had 250 submissions from local schools and 30 of them were displayed in the exhibition. Some schools were supported by our Education Consultant who helped them explore how the Chilterns was special and how it has changed through time.

 

We would like to thank all the schools and children who took part!
