Earth Moves Creative Network

Grounded in Creativity is a community-led creative and environmental network facilitated by Earth Moves. Bringing together artists, growers, environmental practitioners, community groups, and local residents, the network explores how creativity and connection to nature can strengthen wellbeing, reduce isolation, and support more inclusive and sustainable communities.

Rooted in ecological thinking and social connection, Grounded in Creativity creates spaces where horticulture, land-based practice, and artistic expression come together to support both people and place.

If you join the network we will highlight your website or social media channels on this page so likeminded artists and institutions can connect with you. We will also be hosting regular online meet-ups to discuss collaborations and events.

A Living Digital Gallery

As part of the network, visitors can explore an evolving interactive digital gallery accessed through QR codes displayed at exhibitions, events, gardens, and community spaces.

The gallery acts as a visual mosaic a patchwork of artworks reflecting the diversity of creative voices across the network.

Each artwork featured will show:

Artwork images or video
Artist reflections and descriptions
Materials, themes, and creative process
Links to related projects and resources
Access to the artist’s full biography page

The experience is designed to feel organic, immersive, and easy to navigate, echoing natural systems, movement, and connection.

Artist Listings

Every participating artist has their own profile showing:

Their creative background and practice
Influences and environmental interests
Connections to community and ecology
Portfolio links, social media, and ongoing projects

Together, the platform creates a layered storytelling ecosystem where artwork, landscape, identity, and community are deeply interconnected.
