Quick post to say that last night’s private preview event was a huge success. There is some incredible artwork on display with an opportunity to meet the amazing people behind the art.
Today – Saturday 5th March – is the first of the two public viewing days. Set inside Shantytown, it is not to be missed! We’ll write more after the weekend and post some photos, but here’s a flavour of some of the artists you can expect to see:
Andris Apse – photographer
Stewart Nimmo – photographer
Anthony Manuel – sculptor (wood) and painter
Pat Lindbom – painter
Michelle Irwin – painter
Ben Bell – sculptor (charicatures)
Paula Dixon – sculptor
Jenny Thomas – glasswork
Local highschools – mixed media
…and many more (approx. 60 artists).
It poured with rain late last night but this morning has a beautiful blue sky with some light mist over the sea. The Art In The Park displays are all indoors with the exception of the sculptors.
