Wild Eye: An exciting outdoor art and nature project for the North Yorkshire Coast

Wild Eye is an exciting art and nature programme celebrating Scarborough’s incredible wildlife and coastal environment. Local communities, leading artists, businesses, and scientists are working together to create a series of events, artworks, and experiences that connect people with the natural world and support positive action for nature.

Wild Eye aims to foster a greater understanding of the incredible wildlife found across the North Yorkshire Coast, raising awareness of issues around nature, biodiversity and climate change.

Inspiring, accessible outdoor artworks, trails, events, and digital experiences will link together existing Wild Eye locations - in Whitby Harbour and at Scarborough Castle - with three new areas in Scarborough - Marine Drive, the harbour, and the Cinder Track.

Wild Eye is delivered in partnership with  Yorkshire Wildlife Trust , a regional environmental charity,  Invisible Dust , a UK-based art-science organisation and  North Yorkshire Council . The Wild Eye project was allocated £1.4m under the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ Towns Fund, which is administered by North Yorkshire Council, to deliver long-term sustainable economic growth for Scarborough’s nature-culture tourism market and support reconnection with the environment.
