As you may have noticed the Antony Gormley figures which have dominated the Castle Cornet skyline for the last two years have now come down. And although we are going to miss those beautiful and haunting figures, we are delighted to announce that on 20th March we will be unveiling Gormley’s latest installation in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. One of his Another Time sculptures will be taking centre stage on Herm Island. This installation will remain on Herm until next year. |

Fun was had by all in the February half term workshops. A total of 50 children took part and Laura Simpson our Community Arts Development Officer who led the week enjoyed every minute of it. “It was lovely to meet some new children and catch up with some old friends too. Yet again the participants created some terrific works in art and mastered new skills they hadn’t tried before. Several have been in touch to show me the work they’ve produced at home, using their newly acquired talents.” Laura will be running more workshops throughout the year so do contact her to be put on the workshop database at laura@arts.gg. |
