About Guernsey Arts
Guernsey Arts is a charity
which supports Island artists and Arts organisations. Our aim is for the
Bailiwick of Guernsey to be the most vibrant artistic community it can
be - across all aspects of the arts. We believe that there should be no
barriers to enjoyment and appreciation of the arts and we work hard to
make the arts accessible to all.
Presentation
We would like to talk about the width and breadth of our project work this year.
From
community projects and festival seed funding to hosting exhibitions and
supporting creatives across all art forms, the door at Guernsey Arts is
always open. For many Islanders, it is the gateway to realising their
creative dreams and potential, as our team provide valuable contacts,
advice and support.
Some examples of recent community projects are included below.
-
We advised and facilitated artwork for the refurbishment of Action for
Children's new trauma informed design space in Victoria Road
-
Guernsey Arts has developed a Cultural Programme for the upcoming
Natwest Island Games including a Pocket Island Poetry Anthology and
Digital Arts Open
- We brought the whole community together
for Arts Sunday 2023, we oversee and co-ordinate Castle Nights and will
be celebrating music and visual arts for all with Beatles themed
exhibition A Summer of Twist and Shout
- We ensure that the
amazing nature and biodiversity of our Islands is captured through the
Bailiwick Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition - an opportunity
for Islanders to have their work on display next to the Wildlife
Photographer of the Year exhibition (of Natural History Museum fame and
renown). This year, we also hosted free community artist workshops as
part of a nationwide initiative The Wild Escape.
- We
regularly support young artists - this can be from meeting 1:1 and
providing advice on how to hold an exhibition and to sell work or
finding an exhibition space. We will share some case studies. We also
look after all busking licenses for St Peter Port.
