Art, Ecology and the Economy is a developmental collaboration between
two leading organisations involved in the creative arts, operating on either
side of Dartmoor.

The project takes the form of an exhibition in two parts, displayed
simultaneously and four forums. Its aim is to demonstrate how environmentally
friendly approaches to manufacture and collaboration can help make the
creative industries more profitable. In turn, they will show how profitable
creative industries impact on other important regional industries, particularly
tourism, by providing products and services that enhance local distinctiveness.

Examples of work and case studies focus on the Greater Dartmoor area,
but also on other predominantly rural areas in the UK and abroad (including
Europe and Africa). Some artists (this includes designers and makers of
all kinds) were invited to exhibit and others were chosen from an ‘open
submission’. We have sought to include work which addresses ecological
concerns and which has the potential to be developed into viable and
successful ‘green’ businesses.

Forums

Each forum lasts from 10am - 4pm. See the CCANW website for list of speakers. Admission £10 (£8 conc.) Booking essential, phone 01392 832277 or email info@ccanw.co.uk
