Help create Abergavenny’s biggest art installation!
The Abergavenny Food Festival’s market hall decorations are always a huge hit. They are eagerly anticipated and give real pleasure to thousands of people – visitors and locals alike – for a whole year. Here’s your chance to get your creative work centre-stage at one of the UK’s top foodie events.
Last year’s ‘bees and flowers’ are fading fast, and now it’s all systems go as Arts Alive Wales gears up to produce the 2011 food-themed offering. Volunteers are needed. If you like turning great ideas into a visual feast then you’ll definitely want to get involved with this exciting new project.
Designer Bettina Reeves has used her kitchen as inspiration for the current themes. Kitchen utensils and beautiful jugs, along with colourful fish, will grace the rafters of the town’s superb Victorian market hall. All will be revealed on the evening of Thursday 15 September at the Festival’s annual Fanfare Supper.
Bettina and textile designer Susan McComb would love to have a lively and committed team to work with. They can offer the fun and satisfaction of creating large scale art for a public space, with good company – and excellent lunches too!
If you have textile/stitching/painting skills, can spare a few days and would like to take part, the Food Festival workshops will be held at the Arts Alive studio in Crickhowell on the following dates:
Tuesday 23rd , Wednesday 24th, Tuesday 30th, Wednesday 31st August and Friday 2nd, Saturday 3rd, Monday 5th, Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th, Friday 9th, Saturday 10th, Monday 12th, Tuesday 13th, Wednesday 14th September.
Workshops run from 10am – 5pm and we ask all volunteers to bring something delicious to share for lunch!
