Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest, a 30-minute drive South of Louisville, KY is thrilled to announce the launch of L+A+N+D (Landscape + Art + Nature + Design), an exciting new initiative that annually celebrates innovative design concepts for immersive outdoor installations on a grand scale that will spark imaginations, conversations, and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
Designed and constructed by artists, architects, landscape architects, designers, and creatives, successful L+A+N+D proposals provide experiences with topics addressing humans – connection to nature, beauty in the landscape, biodiversity, conservation, sustainability, and climate change.
Bernheim seeks regional, national, and international proposals from creatives of all kinds, with the broadest range of diverse perspectives and experiences. While not required, applicants are encouraged to form multidisciplinary teams with (but not limited to) other artists, architects, designers, ecologists, scientists, and/or engineers.
To encourage submissions from emerging and established applicants, Bernheim has two tiers of entry categories, where more extensive construction warrants a higher materials and production budget. Tier 1 proposals will be funded with a total 30,000 USD, and Tier 2 proposals with a total 15,000 USD.
