About PaP:

PaC was PaP, a peer group for artists with monthly meet-ups happening across the New Forest, together carrying out creative investigations into the area and providing a forum of support, sharing, caring and exchange to strengthen one another’s practice. Our activities mirror the ancient agricultural commoning practices of the New Forest, which question accepted patterns of ownership and artistic authorship.

To begin with ...

PaP began as People + Place artist peer network at the end of 2019 , though with the onset of the pandemic it quicky evolved into a different format providing vital support for participating artist and we hope interesting activity shared with wider networks and communities. We had over 20 online meet-ups and managed to fit in a handful of covid compliant real life walks and gatherings, we co-convened a talk with art historian Michael Crane author of Correspondence Art (1984)
