Arts In Nature

Support Arts in Nature at Bernheim

The Arts in Nature programs strengthen our connection to the natural world through artistic expression, building on a rich legacy of integrating art into the landscape. Since the organization’s founding, this distinctive program has embodied Isaac Wolfe Bernheim’s vision of this land as a place where art, nature, and education come together. We invite you to support these efforts and help us continue fostering creativity and connection in the natural world.

L+A+N+D: an experience of discovery  

L+A+N+D (Landscape + Art + Nature + Design) is a bold new initiative redefining outdoor art with immersive, large-scale installations that ignite imagination, spark dialogue, and deepen our connection to nature. This dynamic program is just getting started, with new experiences added annually, while ephemeral works rotate out over time. With your support, L+A+N+D will continue pushing the boundaries of art, design, and nature, inspiring generations to see the world in a new way. 

ACRE Tree Sponsorship

Designed by Anne Peabody, ACRE features 81 Merlot Redbud trees outlining a one-acre space, symbolizing the past deforestation of this land while emphasizing the conservation efforts of our founder. Installed in 2023, ACRE will reach peak beauty in 2029, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Isaac Wolfe Bernheim’s gift to Kentucky. Your support ensures its long-term upkeep and enduring impact for decades to come.
