LAND-SHAPE is a large land art project under the Cultural Agreement for North Jutland.

Land Art has been selected as a target area under the Cultural Agreement of Northern Jutland for 2013 -2016 who goes by the name Culture edge. The project is called LAND SHAPE, Land Art North Denmark. The Cultural Agreement is an agreement among The Danish Cultural Ministry, The Region og North Jutland and all 11 municipalities: Frederikshavn, Hjørring, Læsø, Brønderslev, Jammerbugt, Aalborg, Rebild, Mariagerfjord, Vesthimmerland, Morsø og Thisted.

 The project has 2 overall objectives: 1. To strengthen North Jutland artistic professional, interdisciplinary art, innovative and identity purposes by establishing a Land Art scene of international standing with a focus on the development of a larger Land Art Festival. 2. Generating site specific land art works located around locally in the 11 municipalities in North Jutland and it´s varied landscape and transitions between nature and industrialized/urban zones.

LAND SHAPE addresses both the elitist art scene and wants to involve citizens broadly. LAND SHAPE seeks to  include new art and culture users, rely on public participation, work with children and institutions and be widely including in it´s approach towards the citizens.

The main theme for the first LAND-SHAPE festival will be:"Regional Ressources". The aim is to find models of building on existing strengths in the area of North Jutland as an example of merging art and society in common goals of development, identity work and meaningfull exchange on an equal level. We therefore seek to include many partners like for  example  cultural institutions, artists, environments, museums, business partners, individuals as relevant partners and sources of inspiration.
