Messums presents its second international open call exhibition for painters exploring our relationship with the environment. Opening at Messums London in November 2025, before expanding to the 13th-century tithe barn at Messums Wiltshire, this curated exhibition reflects on how artists respond to the landscapes around us. Through contemporary painting, it examines changing ideas of beauty, ecology, and sustainability, as well as themes of place, memory, and identity, revealing how connections to the natural world can inspire both understanding and hope.

The ten artists selected for the London exhibition are Cas Campbell, Noelle Gallagher, Eric Butcher, Jonathan Freemantle, Elle Jackson, Heidi Lampenius, Liz Elton, Peter Matthews, Cassie Vaughan and Meredith Owen.

This exhibition marks the first part of two shows. The second instalment will take place in Wiltshire in January 2026, featuring an expanded presentation of works by 38 artists.
