‘Finding Your Way Day’ has been programmed to coincide with ‘Artist Led’, an exploration into artist led initiatives, enterprises and activities in Somerset. The exhibition at The Brewhouse in Taunton runs from Saturday 16 Oct – Saturday 20 Nov.
This event is supported by Arts Council England and Local Action for Rural Communities (LARC).
The Finding Your Way day looks to spark stimulating debate among artists and workers in the field of visual arts.
We are hoping people will come from beyond the SW and share experiences from their own locations….as Beacon is doing!
Beacon is included in a feature on Rural Initiatives in this month’s a-n magazine….read more at http://www.a-n.co.uk/publications/article/707062/73720
