GRASSLANDS creates citizen-involved art in the countryside and seeks through artprojects to contribute to a more nuanced and qualified debate on rural development.

GRASSLANDS has realized a number of site-specific works of art in the villages of Åsted, Thorum, Selde and Junget in northeast Salling. GRASSLANDS also organized two seminars on artistic methods and experiences in connection with art projects based in rural areas around Europe.

GRASSLANDS is curated by visual artist Lene Noer and visual artist Birgitte Ejdrup Kristensen. GRASSLANDS has been realized with the generous support of Region Midt, Skive Municipality, the Danish Arts Foundation, Realdania, Aarhus Municipality's Cultural Development Fund, the Nordea Foundation and the Spar Vest Foundation.
