Organizer Information:
Cooperativa Sole, in collaboration with the Municipality of Ledro and the Alpi Ledrensi Reserve Network, organizes this annual initiative. Ledro Land Art is an open-air artistic itinerary located in the pine forest of Pur, along the Assat stream, designed to integrate art with nature, rediscover the landscape, and reflect on the relationship between humans and the environment.
Title & Description:
Applications are open for the Ledro Land Art Call for Artists 2026.
The organizers are seeking proposals for the inclusion of two new artworks within the Ledro Land Art path. The selected works must be created partially or totally on-site and should reflect the project's core principles: the integration of nature and art, respect for the environment, and a connection to the history and traditions of the territory.
Given the transitory nature of Land Art, the works will be subject to atmospheric factors and natural deterioration. An integral part of the residency is the audio-video documentation of the creation process, which will be published on the official website.
