“In 2017, ADEPT was given the opportunity by Fauna & Flora International and Grass Valley Trust to purchase and manage a farmed valley in central Transylvania, near Sighisoara. ADEPT is raising funds to educate children about their natural environment and to promote traditional farming methods. The Angofa farm provides the opportunity to do both. Wildflower-rich hay meadows which have almost disappeared in Europe will be restored and preserved here.

Many thanks to the artists who are donating 30% of their sales to ADEPT. All funds raised at this Exhibition will help re-build the former Angofa school and farm house. The old school will be both a field and educational centre for children, students, botanists, and visitors to the Angofa farmland.” The Slow Cyclist, whose Transylvanian tracks include this special valley, is also supporting the project.

Exhibiting Artists:

Richard Foster | Katie Buckett | Hugh Dunford-Wood | Lindy Guinness

The exhibit was made possible by Nicolae Ratiu & the trustees of the Fundatia Adept. Tickets and donations could be purchased here.

Fundatia ADEPT is a charity registered in UK and Romania. For 15 years it has worked to protect the remarkable landscape of Transylvania, one of the best preserved nature-rich farmed landscapes in Europe. ADEPT protects these landscapes by working with the local small-scale farming communities. These landscapes will only be preserved if they provide decent living standards for the communities that manage them. ADEPT’s work has been recognised internationally.
