This year’s Art and Islands Conference was a tremendous success, on the first day we saw more than 90 local and international delegates attend the Conference at Castle Cornet. The weather was fabulous and showed Guernsey at its best to our 50+ international delegates. One of the highlights of this year’s Conference came from the Art and Island Keynote Speaker Matthew Taylor the Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Arts. He delivered a lecture on Creativity and Sustainable Citizenship. Off the back of this event we are looking for RSA Fellows who reside in Guernsey and are interested in joining a regional forum to look at developing Matthew’s concept further in a local context. If you are an RSA Fellow and would like more information please contact Joanna Littlejohns, Head of Arts Development by email joanna@arts.gg. |
