Art Hub Projects

The Art Hub will be a creative community space inside the forest. Here are the 13 projects we plan to build:

Land Art Exhibition

A permanent open-air land art exhibition. As you walk through the forest, you'll encounter large-scale and unexpected installations created by artists from around the world. These pieces become part of the natural landscape and evolve with it.

Art Workshops

Studios in forest pavilions and open-air spaces. Sculpt, paint, explore land art, try jewellery making, glassblowing, or create from recycled materials. Visiting artists guide participants through immersive techniques.

Music & Film Festivals

Temporary stages and a forest cinema under the stars. Musicians, performers, and filmmakers take part in intimate festivals, screenings, and live performances.

Photo Spots

Artistic photo zones seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape. Waves of grass, moss-covered walls, and full-scale scenic installations create unique, photogenic environments.

Artist Residencies

A space for artist residencies open to visual artists, musicians, researchers and multidisciplinary creators. A place for silence, focus, and experimentation in dialogue with nature.

Stop Motion Lab

A forest-based laboratory for creating stop-motion animation. A pavilion where artists can shoot frame-by-frame films — a slow, meditative process that requires full immersion.

Silent Dome

A space for meditation, yoga, and practices of silence. Attend a retreat, immerse yourself in vipassana, or simply spend time alone with your thoughts.

Recording Studio

A small recording studio in the middle of the forest. Record music, capture the sounds of nature, or experiment with acoustics away from the city.

Dog Park

A dedicated area in the forest where you can come with your dog. Ramps, tunnels, agility equipment, washing stations, toys, dog photo exhibitions, and more.

Forest Library

A serene knowledge center in the woods with open stacks, reading nooks, and resources for artists, scientists, and visitors.

Science Conferences

Scientific conferences dedicated to ecology, the future of forests, sustainable development, and the relationship between humans and nature. Lectures under canopies, round tables, and workshops.

Interactive Trails

Wayfinding art, sound markers, and micro-installations turn a walk into a story-driven experience through the forest.

Sports & Pathways

Recreational spaces for everyone: ping pong tables under the trees, a sandy volleyball court, a small handmade bowling lane, and dedicated trails including wheelchair-accessible paths.

Roadmap: How We Fund Magic Forest

Step 1: Starting capital — Crowdfunding €100,000

The community of supporters is the foundation of everything. Every donation — no matter how small — demonstrates that real people believe in this project. This community support makes the project viable for additional funding from banks, grants, and partners.

We don't want to grow fast — we want to grow right. Each contribution is a vote of confidence that compounds over time.

Step 2: Land selection and legal confirmation

Once the starting goal of €100,000 is reached, we begin land selection. Each candidate property goes through full due diligence:

A shortlist of eligible plots (10–20 hectares) will be presented for community review. If the right land costs more than the crowdfunding total, the gap is closed with founders' contribution (~10–15%), bank financing (~40–50%), regional and EU programs (~25–30%), and community/private support (~10–15%).

Step 3: Forest and Art Hub development

Once land is secured: first the forest (planting with forestry experts, native species, fire prevention, water management), then the Art Hub.

The Art Hub is targeted for EU LIFE programme funding (LIFE-2026-SAP-ENV, New European Bauhaus stream) — approximately €600,000 from a €1,000,000 project budget as a non-repayable grant.

The world doesn't change all at once. It changes in small, quiet ways — when someone plants a tree, welcomes an artist, or gives a child a memory of nature. This is what we're building.

Sebastiao Salgado — The Inspiration Behind Magic Forest

When we started Magic Forest, Sebastiao Salgado was still with us — alive and working. Today, he is gone, yet his forest continues to breathe and will keep breathing for decades to come.

We never met him in person. We know him through films, rare interviews, and, of course, the photographs that changed the way we see our planet.

Salgado proved to skeptics that planting a forest is possible. And he did it without being a government, a corporation, or a multi-million-dollar foundation.

He was a photographer who had traveled the world, documenting disasters, wars, and the fragile beauty of nature. But when he returned home — to the scorched land of his native region in Brazil — he realized he had both the power and the responsibility to bring it back to life.

Together with his wife, Lelia Wanick Salgado, and a small team, they founded Instituto Terra — a project to restore 17 hectares of degraded land in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Today, their forest has expanded into more than 8,000 hectares of restored Atlantic Forest ecosystem, and the institute continues to operate as a center for ecology and education.

His journey was captured in the film The Salt of the Earth (2014), directed by Wim Wenders and his son Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.

Moby — Our Urban Monk Parakeet

We were walking through the park just after a summer thunderstorm. The air still smelled of rain, and broken branches lay scattered like forgotten toys. And there, in the wet grass, was a tiny bird — barely alive, barely breathing.

Hanna picked him up. No hesitation. She cupped him in both hands, turned around, and walked toward the nearest vet. He was a monk parakeet — a chick, probably fallen from a colony nest high in the palms.

There was no doubt — this little creature was staying. No cage, no "let nature take its course" speeches. He became family.

Today, Moby has a branch in the living room, a favourite spot on someone's shoulder, and a playlist of sounds he mimics — from laughter to the coffee machine. He is part of the family, an urban bird who chose to stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Project

What is the Magic Forest Association?

The Magic Forest Association is an officially registered non-profit organization and a community-driven project that unites reforestation with creativity, education, science, sports, and socially significant initiatives. Our mission is to create a living, breathing legacy — a thriving forest that becomes a vibrant hub for art, culture, education, science, sports, wellbeing, community, and social impact.

Why combine nature with art?

By bringing creativity into nature, we create experiences that transform how people see the world and their place in it. Creativity thrives when the mind is calm and open — a state most naturally found in a forest. Art, science, education, sports, and rest take on new depth in a living landscape.

Where will the Magic Forest be located?

The exact location is not yet decided. We plan to search for suitable land in the Pyrenees or northern Spain, focusing on areas with a mild climate, healthy water balance, and lower fire risk. The final choice depends on the land market and availability.

Who are the founders?

The Magic Forest Association was founded on January 20, 2025, by Hanna and Dima — a family of independent filmmakers based in Barcelona — together with film director Oksana Bychkova (IMDB: imdb.com/name/nm2294083/).

How is the project funded?

Through a multi-layered approach: community crowdfunding (initial goal €100,000), regional and EU grants (ERDF, EAFRD/LEADER, EU LIFE programme targeting €600,000), and ethical financing (green mortgages, sustainability-oriented banks).

What about Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and GDPR compliance?

Magic Forest follows GDPR and Spanish data-protection requirements. The public Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Policy explain processing, user rights, and contact routes. Privacy questions can be sent to hello@magicforest.land.

Crowdfunding & Donations

How can I donate?

Online payments via Stripe (Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit/debit card), GoFundMe, PayPal, cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, XRP, XTZ; availability depends on the selected workflow), and SEPA bank transfer.

Why can't I donate more than €99 at once?

Spanish law requires non-profits to perform KYC verification for donations of €100+. The online limit keeps the process simple. Larger contributions can be arranged by contacting the team.

Will I get proof of my donation?

Yes. Every supporter receives official documentation confirming their contribution. As an officially registered non-profit, all donations are properly recorded and acknowledged.

How is my donation used?

By law, funds can only be spent on statutory purposes. The primary goal is land purchase. We publish full financial transparency through monthly bank statements and live APIs.

Are donations tax-deductible?

As a registered association, we can provide documentation for tax purposes. Consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility in your jurisdiction.

Will you steal my money?

We are a legally registered European association under oversight from the Government of Catalonia, Spanish tax authorities, SEPBLAC (anti-money laundering), and strict bank compliance. Founders are real people with public identities. We publish bank statements and Stripe invoices monthly.

Why do you think you will be able to raise money through crowdfunding?

The founders have direct experience with independent crowdfunding campaigns. One became the subject of their documentary Lights. Camera. Blockchain, about a Catalan filmmaker who raised €750,000 for a film that later reached number one on Spanish Netflix. This experience is evidence of familiarity with the process, not a guarantee of success.

Participation & Volunteering

How can I volunteer on-site?

Right now, our first priority is raising €100,000. The most valuable way to volunteer is by spreading the word. You can join our referral program — we allocate 10% of donations collected through your personal link as a reward.

Can I visit the forest after making a donation?

Once the forest exists, Magic Forest plans to welcome community members and supporters through gatherings, educational visits, and events. The land has not yet been purchased, so visits are a future plan rather than a current benefit.

Are there residency opportunities for artists?

Yes! The art residency is a core component. Artists, performers, and musicians from around the world will have opportunities to create work in this unique natural setting.

How do I apply for the art residency?

The application process will be developed after land is secured and facilities are planned. Timelines, criteria, and program details will be published in future updates.

Environmental Impact

How do you choose tree species?

We will organize an open call for scientists and professionals to design sustainable ecosystems, prioritizing biodiversity, ecosystem health, and long-term resilience.

How do you ensure the forest's long-term survival?

Climate-resilient native species, sustainable water management, firebreaks, ongoing maintenance, and local community stewardship.

How will the project adapt to climate change?

Planning includes drought-resistant species, water-efficient irrigation, diverse microhabitats, preparation for temperature change, and management practices that can adapt as conditions evolve.

What measures are taken to prevent fires?

Choosing low-risk locations, creating defensible spaces, maintaining firebreaks, removing combustible undergrowth, and collaborating with local fire authorities.

Will you use pesticides or chemicals?

No. Magic Forest is committed to organic, sustainable practices: natural pest management, companion planting, beneficial insect habitat, and ecosystem-based solutions without harmful chemicals.

Grants & Partnerships

How will you get EU grants?

By securing land first, preparing comprehensive documentation, demonstrating community support, aligning with New European Bauhaus objectives, and showcasing art-nature integration.

What is the LIFE programme?

The EU LIFE programme is the EU's funding instrument for environmental and climate action. We're targeting LIFE-2026-SAP-ENV through the New European Bauhaus stream, aiming for €600,000 from a €1M project budget.

Who are your current partners?

The founders have professional relationships with film producers and investors who may support the project as investors, sponsors, or philanthropists. Formal project partnerships are not presented as confirmed before land or sufficient starting capital is secured.

Can private companies partner with Magic Forest?

Yes. We're open to partnerships with companies aligned with our values: sustainable technology providers, eco-friendly suppliers, environmental services, and conservation organizations.

Are you open to co-funded projects?

Yes. Magic Forest welcomes co-funded art installations, educational programs, research projects, community events, and mission-aligned infrastructure.

Can scientists or educators collaborate with you?

Yes. Magic Forest welcomes collaborations with universities, institutes, schools, educational organizations, courses, and conferences. Contact hello@magicforest.land or schedule a call with the founders.
