In 2019, 5 artists were commissioned to produce new art works and a programme of talks and workshops took place in locations on the Lizard and in nearby towns. The project culminated in The Gathering, a village fête style event on Goonhilly Downs, where artworks and information were shared and a range of activities invited people to engage in their own multi-layered exploration of this special place.
