Art For

Good...

​

Art For Good is an art installation by artist, Anthony Garratt with Newlyn School of Art, in aid of the creation of a National Trust footpath between Land’s End and Sennen in Cornwall

​

We are inviting members of the public from all age groups and backgrounds to join in a 'mass painting event' in an attempt to set a World Record for the most painters simultaneously creating individual landscape paintings at the same location, en plein air (outside). The intention is that the participants will form a continuous line of painters from Lands End to Sennen.

​

All participants will stand an equal distance apart and the reverse of their painting panels will be painted pink so that from an aerial perspective, they form a continuous dotted line when held above the participants heads; the denotation of a footpath on an OS Map.

​

The event not only encourages the idea that painting outdoors is an excellent way of connecting with the environment and creates a visually spectacular art installation, but also raises awareness of 'desire lines' and funds for the National Trust to complete the build of a designated footpath between the two locations.

​

ART FOR GOOD IS A NEW SERIES OF MASS PAINTING INSTALLATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES.
​
IT IS INSPIRED BY THE IDEA THAT THE PRACTICE OF PAINTING IS AN OBJECTIVE WAY IN WHICH TO CONNECT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROMOTES THE IDEA OF 'ART FOR ALL'.
