We are delighted to announce the launch of the Endangered Landscapes 
Artist Residencies and Arts Prize – an exciting, new collaboration 
between two programmes managed by the Cambridge Conservation Initiative 
(CCI): the Endangered Landscapes Programme and the Arts, Science and 
Conservation Programme.

A new collaboration
The Endangered Landscapes Programme (ELP) – generously funded by the 
Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin – is 
supporting an optimistic vision for the future of Europe’s landscapes. 
This vision sees landscapes enriched with biodiversity, establishing 
resilient, more self-sustaining ecosystems that benefit both nature and 
people.

CCI’s Art, Science and Conservation Programme (ASCP) develops pioneering 
interdisciplinary art actions that respond to the biodiversity and 
climate crisis. In particular, the programme explores how collaborations 
between artists and scientists have the ability to transform the way we 
undertake and portray conservation.

The arts play a pivotal role in addressing environmental challenges and 
provide a compelling route into understanding how people are connected 
to landscape – an understanding which is deeply embedded in our own 
approach to restoration. Place-based practice in particular can often 
articulate connections to a landscape in entirely new ways. Both the ELP 
and the ASCP are keen to encourage collaborative, interdisciplinary arts 
practice that celebrates these landscapes and communities, and that 
reveal the hopes, ambitions and opportunities that come with landscape 
restoration.


The ELP is supporting nature recovery in some of Europe’s most treasured 
– but threatened – landscapes. The recently launched Endangered 
Landscapes Artist Residencies will create new opportunities to connect 
with these places, which humans and nature both depend on. Photo credit:

About the residencies
Artists are invited to be in residence in the ELP’s Implementation 
Project landscapes throughout Europe. Expressions of Interest open on 
the 7th January 2021 for one month. The opportunity is open to artists 
with strong links to the landscapes in the following countries: Belarus, 
Georgia, Moldova, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Turkey, Ukraine, and 
Wales.

Artists will be selected through a competitive two-stage process, judged 
against the stated criteria by the residency project team, project teams 
in each landscape and an external panel. Residencies will be accompanied 
by awards between $3,150 and $5,400 and will begin in June 2021. We look 
forward to receiving proposals from a wide range of artistic practice.
