Little Forest Open Day
Open Day to view the Little Forest site to help inform your Little Forest Open Art Competition submission
This Open Day is the perfect opportunity for you to explore the Little Forest site if you are thinking of submitting an artwork to our Little Forest Open Art Competition, to find artworks to display at Art in the Garden 2025.
Our Open Art Competition, now in it’s 7th year, will find interesting artworks to show during Art in the Garden 2025, an 'Open Studio' style event in the Hampshire countryside. We will display the work of 20+ invited artists and makers, as well as work by the LFLA team, in and around a 3 acre wild meadow and along the woodland path. There are many different areas to display your work including: old corrugated pig huts; woodpile wall; by the pond; and under mature oak & yew trees.
If you think your work is not suitable for an outdoor situation then think again. We are open to exploratory submissions and have shown a paper giant, delicate wire hangings and even an oil painting along the woodland path.
This is also an opportunity for anyone interested in joining the artist-led LFLA team, helping to look after the site throughout the year. We meet regularly, spreading our time between cutting back the brambles and keeping the paths clear; and being creative with individual and group artistic projects.
