Art Outside

Art Outside Discover Art Outside, a GreenWise repurposing project bringing nature-inspired creations to Dover!

Come and see our "Outside In" installation at the Charlton Centre, as it is being created with community participation, to support Dover Pantry. Bringing a Little Woodland Magic to Dover! 🌳✨

Get ready, Dover! We're excited to share "Outside In," a creative project blossoming thanks to a collaboration between the GreenWise community wellbeing group (as part of their Art Outside initiative) and som

e fantastic local community groups. We're joining forces to transform the cafe atrium into a unique and whimsical woodland glade, all crafted from the amazing potential of repurposed materials! Each participating group is bringing their artistic flair to build individual trees, creating an unexpected touch of nature right in the heart of our community. More than just a visual treat, "Outside In" aims to bring a sense of calm and connection to nature indoors, something we all know can boost our wellbeing. Plus, this creative endeavor has a wonderful purpose: the participating groups will be hosting leaf decoration workshops where you can add your own artistic touch and help raise vital funds for the brilliant Dover Pantry. Keep an eye out for updates on the progress of our indoor forest and how you can get involved in the leaf decorating fun to support Dover Pantry. We can't wait to share this unique blend of art, community spirit, and support for a great local cause with you all!

I've known and worked with Daisy Fancourt (Professor of Psychobiology and Epidemiology at University College London), for years, and she has just published a book called 'Art Cure'.

Amongst other things she demonstrates just how good 'art' is for our mental AND physical health. Engaging regularly with the arts actually lowers our risk of dying (even taking into account the many socioeconomic, demographic and health variables) for years afterwards.

Visiting museums and attending live music events reduces our physiological (compared to chronological) age, and a monthly cultural activity almost halves our chances of depression.

If a drug could do this, we'd be investing billions in it.

Moss isn’t just a patch of green on walls — it’s a silent climate warrior. Per square meter, moss captures 4x more CO₂ than trees, grows on concrete without soil, and acts as a natural air conditioner, reducing urban heat. It also filters pollutants, fights erosion, and conserves moisture, all while needing almost no water or fertilizer.

Despite this, we scrape it away as if it were waste, erasing one of Earth’s most efficient carbon absorbers. Scientists argue that moss walls and rooftops could be game-changers for future cities, combining natural beauty with powerful climate action. Instead of removing moss, we should be designing with it.

Today we started making ‘things that live in trees’, two caterpillars, two ants, an owl and a chough. Join us next week ...
