Art engages people in different ways than science and education, attaches people’s hearts to what they deem important, and makes emotional connections that inspire change.

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.

L+A+N+D is destined to be an important cultural experience and tourism draw for the region, viewed by over 350,000 guests annually.

To sponsor L+A+N+D at Bernheim, contact Melissa Raley by email or (502) 215-7137 to discuss how to customize this sponsorship opportunity.
