Artists’ Journeys

When culture meets nature.

What if your park, vineyard, castle, or foundation were to host a
living work of art?
A sculpture inhabited by wild bees, birds, and butterflies. A work
created by an artist, on display for your visitors to enjoy, and which becomes a real refuge for
the biodiversity of your region.

A work of art. A living sanctuary.

We entrust artists with biodiversity structures designed by our local artisans.
They transform them into painted, sculpted, and colorful works of art.
These works are then installed in places that welcome them: parks, estates,
vineyards, foundation gardens, and corporate campuses. There, they fulfill two
inseparable functions: they provide a real home for living creatures, and they tell a story
to those who discover them.
Art raises awareness where statistics fall short. A family that stops in front of
a work inhabited by bees understands in thirty seconds what a report cannot
convey.

Our mission: to combine culture and nature.

In the hands of an artist, a biodiversity infrastructure becomes a living sculpture, beautiful to look at, teeming with wild bees, birds, and butterflies.

Each creation is geotagged and linked to the Betterfly app: its species are monitored, and its data is tracked by our bioengineers. From one city to the next, they trace a living path across Europe.

And it all starts with a connection. Businesses, schools, citizens—anyone can take an artist under their wing. You provide a space, materials, and support. The artist offers their perspective. Nature does the rest.

The Locations

Your venue can become
a stop along the route

Estate or Château

The artwork becomes a stop along the tour, a place for your guests to pause.

Vineyard

Wild pollinators are part of your local ecosystem. This artwork brings them to life.

Park or foundation

A strong statement of your commitment, accessible to everyone.

Corporate Campus

Your teams are making a vibrant space their own—far beyond what a CSR report can convey.

Municipal Public Space

Art makes biodiversity appealing to all residents.

What Your Support Makes Possible

Each piece in the exhibition brings together three worlds that rarely intersect: local artisans who craft it, people in social reintegration programs who assemble it, and an artist who gives it its distinctive character.

The program also funds what isn’t immediately visible: scientific monitoring, networking among locations, and implementation in areas that would otherwise never have the resources—schools, neighborhoods, and rural communities.

The Process

Four steps, from the initial discussion to the grand opening

01

Meet

We visit your site, learn about its history, and identify the location where the artwork will have the greatest meaning and the greatest environmental impact.

02

Create

We’ll introduce you to a selection of artists. You choose the one whose creative vision resonates with yours. The artwork is created on-site, and your teams are welcome to participate if you’d like.

03

Install

The artwork is installed and connected to the BetterflyBox app: it appears on the global map of biodiversity refuges.

04

Observe

Our bioengineers monitor the evolution of the species present. You receive the results. Life is returning, and we’ll prove it to you.

Art raises awareness of biodiversity through emotion and shared experience.

What we are looking for: sponsors to fund the creation and roll-out of the trail, and venues, foundations, castles, vineyards, parks and campuses willing to host a work of art.
