Green Art
Mires Beck’s 14-acre horticultural nursery and woodland will play host to a Humber Coast and Vale, Green Social Prescribing funded project, to deliver a twelve-month art programme focusing on nature and the benefits of creative study in green spaces.
Starting in April, our sessions will take place each Saturday and will be facilitated by two established local East Yorkshire artists. We will use the site and its nature bounty to help the students engage with the natural world. The programme has been designed in partnership with a group of international artists who are studying environmental art and their spokesman has designed a YouTube series for the classes.
Our expectation is to lead students referred to the project, to deliver their expressions of art in nature as painted and crafted pieces. Mires Beck hopes to gain approval to exhibit these examples alongside the work of the international artists, and chosen pieces by our teachers, to celebrate this wonderful collaboration and contribution to this new nature intervention initiative to aid mental health.
