After the success of the first Art On The Beach last year the GAC will be holding another this summer at Vazon on June 19th, with support from NatWest. Teams of between 3 and 8 people are invited to enter and see what they can make from the materials found on Vazon Bay. Last year there was everything from stone mosaics to giant sand lobsters and this year we hope to see even more creative expressions based on the beach. To register your team beforehand just email info@arts.gg with your name, a team name, approximately how many people will be taking part and a contact number.

We've Got It Covered Even though the Guernsey Literary Festival is over, We've Got It Covered continues in the greenhouse and continues to be one of the most popular shows exhibited there with more than 2,000 people having already visited. The exhibition continues the Design Matters series as it explores the designs of the dust jacket for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Artwork and copies of the book from around the world are on display alongside entries to a competition challenging local students to design their own version of the dust jacket.

After months of preparation the first Guernsey Literary Festival took place in May and saw more than 6,500 people take part in various events around the island. Local writers had the chance to learn from visiting authors and poets who in turn saw just how much Guernsey has to offer the Literary World. While the organisers take stock of this year's event you can still read highlights in Adam Clayton's Literary Festival blog at arts.gg |
