INSPIRED BY KNEPP EXHIBITION

https://knepp.co.uk/visit-knepp/art/

4-17 May 2024 – Knepp Castle Estate, East Sussex

For a dozen glorious spring days, the Knepp Rewilding Project will play to host a group of 12 artists. Their exhibition, called ‘Inspired By Knepp’, will show individual artworks that celebrate and champion the rewilding movement. Profits from the artworks sold will be split between the artists and the Knepp Wildland Foundation charity.

The exhibition runs from the Knepp Estate 4-16 May and is open daily, between 10am-5pm. Entry will be free, and you can also visit the Wilding Kitchen and Shop and explore the Knepp Estate grounds yourself, using the designated footpaths.

Over the last few months, the artists have been given safari-like tours and spent several days exploring the estate. This exhibition will show each artist’s response to their time spent immersed within the inspirational, transformed and thriving landscape.
