ARTISTIC POLICY
NVA is an environmental arts charity creating extraordinary outdoor urban and landscape art. NVA’s mission is to take people on journeys whether physical, emotional or intellectual, to create environments in which people feel inspired to let go of the familiar.

It operates from an international perspective bringing together artists, musicians, designers and performers from around the world to create dynamic creative teams.

CURRENT PRODUCTION
To be launched in February 2008 (In Scotland), Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. NVA will deliver the launch of this prestigious and national event in the form of a world class Chinese Spring Lantern Festival, to take place in the stunning Glasshouses and Garden over four weeks.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Development of major new landscape work for 2009. Visit www.nva.org.uk for further details.

WRAP-AROUND
Each project includes a tailored community programme working with local providers to develop powerful lifelong learning opportunities to promote skills training and work/student placements with some of the best respected designers, technicians and project managers in the UK. This aspect of the work has had a profound effect on local capacity building on recent projects on Skye (2005) and in Glen Lyon (2000), which collectively employed an additional 60 local staff, with enthusiastic local spin-offs leading to increased cultural and educational activities post event.
