FAREHAM ARTS FESTIVAL IS HERE!!!

So lovely people the inaugural Fareham Arts FEstival is here!!!!

August 8th -16th

There is so much going on over 9 days in Fareham that your eyes will melt.  We have exhibitions in 19 venues featuring some amazing talent from as far afield as Spain.  You can come and pick up free art magnets from Sticks Gallery too. From textiles to painting, installation to print there is something for everyone!

The Art Market.  We can possibly fit a couple more in but you must let us know soon as this is the first one we do not want it overcrowded and give our amazing artists and artisans room to shine.  This is going to be amazing.  The quality of work coming in is massive, I am very excited about this one!!!

We also have free music, including today’s Choir Showcase at Locks Heath Shopping Village and very cheap gigs that are only £5 a ticket

Plus Free Theatre

Writing Workshops, book signings, performances and poetry (with the exception of Apples & Snakes this is all free to attend)

Art Workshops: on Monday we have bookmaking and next Saturday a Children’s Mixed Media workshop

Film with the brilliant screening of The Lego Movie at Bursledon Brickworks with free museum entry included in the ticket.

 

The screening for the Fareham Shorts: International Short Film Competition.  This will be an amazing night with red carpet, awards and Q&A session with the filmmakers

 

We’d love as many of you to come down as possible and help us build on this in future years to create a massive arts festival that celebrates all the brilliance and diversity that exists in this our chosen field!!

Autism Art Drop in: Today

 Join us every Saturday for our autism art drop in at Sticks Gallery

Every Saturday we invite those with autism up to the age of 16 to come with their care giver and attend one of our autism art drop in sessions.

These are a laid back affair where those with autism can experiment with art and different sensory materials while their care giver can sit on our sofa and have a cup of tea and a chat.

For just £2 to cover materials you can come in and create, chat, drink tea and those attending the session can enjoy squash and a biscuit.  After the session you are free to take home what you make (if ready) or have it added to our community art wall.

The space itself is autism friendly with a chill out area, low level lighting, PECS, headphones available and you can even download a social story about coming to the gallery below:

This session runs every Saturday between 1 – 2:30pm.  No need to book, just drop in!
