To celebrate the built heritage and natural landscapes of the East Wight area, Wild About Wight have commissioned a group of local Island artists to deliver a programme of workshops and events running until March 2019.
Artists Babs Gowan, Caroline Underwood, Hannah George and Ian Whitmore will be working together to host a series of 12 FREE art workshops in different locations of the East Wight throughout 2018, culminating in a celebratory finale exhibition at Quay Arts in 2019.
Led by Vectis Housing’s Community Team, Wild About Wight aims to deliver a unique package of activities and events from October 2017 until March 2019, designed to raise awareness of landscape issues, engaging people of all ages and abilities with their built and natural heritage, as well as in practical conservation work and reinforce their sense of community and place on the Isle of Wight.
Islanders are being given the opportunity to learn more at a free family-friendly arts workshop on Saturday 28th October between 10:00-12:30 upstairs at Sandown Library.
