Engaging with art and the artist’s creative process

Being creative at work is vital for organisations to thrive and employees who are given the right environment and freedom to  innovate and try new things will make the difference.

A World Economic Forum report shows that creativity at work is going to be one of the most important and in-demand skills in the next 5 years.

Art Acumen help nurture a creative culture in the workplace through engaging and inspiring art programmes, creating ‘engagement value’ at every opportunity. Each art programme and engagement strategy is bespoke, we work closely with our clients to design impactful creative experiences, taking into account each company’s unique culture and communication opportunities. 

We are currently delivering a multifacted art programme for an international law firm, and have created many opportunities within the programme for creative engagement, ranging from sharing the stories and methods behind commissioned artwork, hosting creative talks and workshops and through artist led co-created commissions. 

One element of the programme is a curated landscape collection, where we are acquiring and commissioning works from early to mid career artists, capturing a diversity of approach, technique, viewpoint and medium. We are bringing this collection to life through virtual artist studio tours, artists landscape walking tours and  ‘progress so far’ updates on the commissioned work, where the artist will discuss their process and their creative decision making. 

Introductions to the all landscape artists in this collection and progress on their commissions can be found on our Instagram page. Please feel free to join the artists’ studio tours via our vimeo page

Landscape Artist Feature:

Sue Arrowsmith is one of sixteen commissioned artists for this collection. Her artist studio tour and walking landscape tour can be viewed below.

What appeals to Sue Arrowsmith is how the neglected everyday environment can have such extraordinary complexity and beauty. Her source material is photographic – images of tree forms and leaf clusters, branches of blossom and weeping willows. Her paintings are like haikus to the world she observes on regular walks, whether in London – where she lives and works – or further afield.
