Agrart

Agrart is a neologism formed by combining agriculture and art. In contemporary usage, agrart refers to practices, projects, or works that blend farming processes, agricultural landscapes, and artistic inquiry. The term is used across disciplines such as environmental art, land art, design, and cultural studies to explore how food production, rural life, and ecological systems can be represented and interrogated through art.

Typical applications include site-specific installations on agricultural land, participatory performances in farming settings, documentary or conceptual works that document farming methods with artistic framing, and educational programs that integrate art with agroecology or sustainable agriculture. Artists and researchers may work with farmers to create pieces that reveal hidden labor, seasonal rhythms, or the aesthetics of crops and soil.

Because agrart is not a formally standardized field, its meaning can vary by author or project. Some writers use it as a broad umbrella for art that engages with agriculture, while others reserve the term for projects that explicitly combine artistic practice with agricultural practice or critique.

In branding or organizational contexts, Agrart, AGRART, or Agrart may be used as a name for companies, collectives, or initiatives; in such cases the usage refers to the entity rather than the concept.
