The Artist Expedition Society exists to consider our relationship to place, nature, and designed environments through volunteer led trips and events. We bring together an ever expanding community of artists with the same desire: to have experiences in nature, to document those experiences through creative practice, and to share the outcomes of our creative practices (often in the form of art in exhibitions) as a tool to communicate something about those experiences. Taking your creative practice into an outdoor environment changes the context of the work, and changes the way we think about it. 

As artist and designers, our decisions have an impact on the physical and virtual spaces that we share, and the ways the culture shapes collective thought. By reconnecting to the outdoors, and the non-human in nature, we hope to diminish the gap that many of us feel has formed between human and wilderness.
