L+A+N+D is an exciting initiative that annually celebrates innovative design concepts for immersive outdoor installations on a grand scale that will spark imaginations, conversations, and a deeper appreciation of the natural world. Designed and constructed by artists, architects, landscape architects, and designers, successful L+A+N+D proposals provide engaging experiences with topics addressing humans' connection to nature, beauty in the landscape, biodiversity, conservation, sustainability, climate change, and climate justice. The selected experiences are implemented via a stipend to the applicant(s), and a construction budget for fabrication and installation expenses. Experiences should be designed and constructed in an ecologically responsible manner with minimal impact to the natural environment that can withstand the outdoors in Kentucky for 2 – 5 years.
