Arts Council England and National Association for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty sign landmark Memorandum of Understanding

Sir Nicholas Serota, chair of Arts Council England and Philip Hygate, chair of the National Association for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (NAAONB), signed, on 23/9/22 a landmark Memorandum of Understanding. It represents their commitments to working together to nurture new links between arts and cultural organisations, and England’s 34 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs).

This follows the Malvern Hills AONB Joint Advisory Committee adopting the NAAONB’s strategy for Art in the Landscape on 23/4/21.

We will post more on this subject as our ideas congeal, but in the meantime, here’s a balmy, aspirational video full of promise, about what can be achieved.
