This companion exhibition to our historic trees show looks at how artists working today are still drawing inspiration from the British tree. We have invited thirty-four artists to contribute a work and explain what trees mean to them and how they figure in their art practice.

Those contributing are: Jemma Appleby, Ann Arnold, Graham Arnold, Christiane Baumgartner, Jo Barry, Philippa Beale, John Blandy, Tim Craven, Michelle Dovey, Dan Hays, David Inshaw, Kurt Jackson, Abi Kremer, Ffiona Lewis, Fiona M.
