Be part of the Outdoor Arts community

Outdoor Arts is one of the most open and supportive sectors in the creative industries. As a member of OutdoorArtsUK, you'll be welcomed into a friendly, professional network and supported by a knowledgeable, approachable team.

Stay connected through regular online and in-person drop-ins, and share your work via our Member Directory and Digital Brochure. You'll also have access to expert advice from the OAUK team, along with a curated selection of reports, resources and toolkits on access, sustainability, placemaking, inclusion and more. Organisations benefit from multiple logins, so your whole team can make the most of what we offer.

You'll also be part of something bigger. OAUK advocates for Outdoor Arts at the highest levels – from the House of Commons and Arts Council England to European networks like Circostrada. We've published an Outdoor Arts Briefing Document and our Director regularly writes sector advocacy pieces, e.g. this article for Circostrada's international audience ahead of FRESH STREET #5.

We're committed to access, offering bursaries, discounts and priority booking to those who need it. Join us and be part of a thriving, supportive community championing Outdoor Arts across the UK and beyond.
