Once upon a time....
Carolina Shrewsbury set out to create a place for cavers who are artists to meet, and create artwork inspired by caves.
A few cavers met up with her in the Dales (Yorkshire,UK) to sketch at a place that had inspired generations of leading artists, Weathercote Cave.
From that day forward, it was understood by all those artists that this practice was indeed an important part of caving. Even more significant was the discovery of an area in art that is an establishment in itself...
