Art on the Beach - only a few weeks to go...!
Sunday 20th May, 11am-4pm
This is the 3rd Art on the Beach and this year we’re hoping to make it even better with your participation!
Bring along your family and friends (teams of up to 10) or come as an individual down to Vazon - whatever the weather and create something stunning out of the sands or any objects you can find on the beach and shoreline!
The works you create will be informally judged by a panel and photographed before the tide rises and washes the pieces back into the sea, and you can expect recognition for your creative effort and
teamwork! We'd be delighted for you to join us and we're planning to make this a really chilled out
experience, so acoustic musicians can feel free to turn up and play music while people get creative.
Register your team on the day, or pre-register by emailing carolyn@arts.gg. You can find out more details by visiting our website www.arts.gg. Also, please do follow us on Facebook and Twitter which we’ll be
adding to on regular basis leading up to the day - including weather reports!

In the greenhouse:
Forwards, backwards and forwards again
curated by Tim Bowditch
Thursday April 5 - Sunday 17 June
The project which has been 3 years in the
making, includes artists David Angus, Theo Niderost and Sybella Perry, and presents the work they made whilst on the island last summer: including video and photography and kinetic sculpture alongside Tim’s short film Firedive which he shot in 2010. As part of the film he filmed a torch-lit procession around the bathing pools evoking the era when the pools were used for extravagant swimming galas.
