Art and Nature

Monday 15- Sunday 21 September 2025

The Art History Festival 2025 theme is Art & Nature, celebrating the profound connections between art, nature, and emotional and mental wellbeing.

From Chinese calligraphy to contemporary eco-art, we will showcase art from different cultures and eras that draws inspiration from nature and the environment or works in synergy with it. In a world of conflict and crises, this Festival will include exploration of the power of art and nature to soothe, heal, centre and uplift individuals and to restore and rejuvenate communities.

The Art History Festival is an annual event run by the Association for Art History, celebrating art, design, and architecture.

Take part in the festival, and learn how art history helps us to better understand the world around us. Get curious, relax, have fun or learn something new at a free event online or at a venue near you.
