Broadway Arts Festival
Posted by Culture Vulture in Art, Events on November 25th, 2009
Broadway Arts Festival is taking shape nicely for next year and looks to be another of those events where a Cotswold community creates an important cultural event by drawing on local passion and long term historical connections.
Broadway is a gem of a Cotswold village, very well known to US visitors and this Festival will do more to strengthen the link. The American painter John Singer Sargent created his masterpiece ’Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose’ whilst staying in Broadway - having fled Paris where his painting of ’Madame X’, had scandalised the art world.
2010’s Festival will be between the 11-20th of June and the organisers have already secured loan from the Tate of important studies for the picture.

Posted by Culture Vulture in Art, Crafts, Events on March 6th, 2009
Slimbridge Wetland Centre is usually associated with outdoor views over the Severn Estuary, flights of geese and swans – a firm favourite with families.
The recently added visitor centre includes a gallery and is a under-
appreciated space for art exhibitions. Between May 3rd and June 30th, the theme will be ‘At Home with Nature’ with Emma Ball, Libby Edmonson, Martin Cheek and Lisa Katzenstein bringing a mix of mosaic, ceramics, acrylics and watercolours, with work inspired by wildlife and landscapes.
