Follow the Time to Connect Art Trail
The new Time to Connect trail features a series of six artworks created and installed by artist and sculptor Chris Campbell based at the sites of Papplewick Pumping Station, Newstead Abbey, RSPB Sherwood Forest, Rufford Abbey, Vicar Water Country Park and Bestwood Country Park.
Visual artists Mandy Keating, Tracey Meek and Chris Campbell teamed up with local groups and schoolchildren to create drawings inspired by Nottinghamshire’s heritage and landscapes, and the artwork from those workshops has been used by Chris in his designs for the sculptures. Each sculpture on the trail invites you to Take ‘Time to Connect’ with this place and with each other.
Inspire: Culture, Learning, Libraries collaborated with Landscape Partnership Scheme Miner2Major and British portrait Photographer Alistair Morrison on the project, connecting with local artists, venues and community groups to help leave a legacy of artworks in key locations across Sherwood Forest!
The trail is part of a wider national project led by Alistair Morrison. Alistair has created Time to Connect, photographing people and places around the UK, and Nottinghamshire is the starting point for this journey. A five-year journey will take him around the UK in a converted camper van, which also doubles as a mobile studio, to capture a portrait of people and places in the UK, post Brexit, post pandemic, in all its richness and diversity. The journey is being captured using photography, film, podcasts and other creative mediums. Alistair is connecting with local artists, sculptors, makers, designers, gardeners and creatives of all types, who are creating beautiful pieces of art in each of the 100 counties; inviting people to visit, appreciate and take time to reflect while viewing them. Nottinghamshire’s Time to Connect trail is the first of these groundbreaking projects to be completed.
You can pick up a copy of the Time to Connect Art Trail at Inspire libraries, all six artwork sites and Nottingham Tourism Centre now!
