Landmarks 2012 will celebrate the
landscapes and landmarks unique to North Devon. A landmark is a conspicuous
object which marks a boundary or event, a turning point in history. Sandy
Brown founder and Artistic Director says “this theme will enable visual
artists from North Devon and across the UK to explore the inspiring creative
opportunities that Landmarks conjures up for today’s visual artist”.
Artists and Festival visitors will have the opportunity to explore unique
landmarks and unearth hidden boundaries. The work of carefully selected visual
artists will become part of the Festival, their work will challenge you, take
you by surprise, enrich your day, bring back the child in you and catch your
imagination! Through a wide variety of workshops for children, families and
adults you will have the chance to mark these moments through your own
creative experiences.
As we work towards developing a wide and varied programme with something for
everyone to enjoy we are also actively fundraising
for the 2012 Festival. The programme of events will include artists talks,
events and workshops. 'Landmarks 2012' will be something you might just dip
into for a day or you might want to experience the whole, a gathering together
of artists over four days that will be completely unique (June 7th – 10th,
2012).
The Festival offers visitors the opportunity to explore this unique and
historic village. It is the perfect place to visit and explore as you enjoy
the diverse range of events during the Festival including the highly popular
Open Gardens, Contemporary Crafts for sale, live Folk Music, Hockings Ice
Cream, historical walking tours, the Appledore Silver Band and lots, lots
more.
Appledore is a beautiful estuary town with a maze of narrow streets and a
fascinating maritime history. It offers expansive views across the wide
estuary of the Rivers Taw & Torridge and out towards the Atlantic Ocean. The
village has eight Galleries, six pubs, four restaurants and cafes, fantastic
sunsets and the second highest tidal drop in the world! All over Appledore
there will be things happening so come along, get creative and enjoy the fun
of the Festival. See you there!
