Creative Freedom
Our Creative Freedom exhibition in Pitlochry's Wild Space ran from 18 March to 28 June 2024. You can view some of our favourite submissions online.
Creative Freedom exhibition
In 2023 we celebrated 40 years of caring for wild places and invited artists from all disciplines to submit artwork that showed us what 'freedom for wild places' meant to them. Around 400 people responded - with the best entries included in an exhibition in Pitlochry's Wild Space visitor centre in spring 2024.
Alongside the judges top selections, they also chose a selection of runner up entries, some of which couldn't quite fit into the physical exhibition. You can view all the judges top choices on our online gallery.
Overall winner Lizzie Wood is our artist in residence
Lizzie Wood - whose submission was judged to have best met the theme of "freedom for wild places" - received an artist-in-residence opportunity at the Trust's site at Quinag. The work she produces will feature in a solo exhibition in our Pitlochry Wild Space visitor centre in 2025.
