Don’t miss this open day which kicks off Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2022, you can view several exhibitions on display. We will have Annie Farley’s new animation about the climate crisis called ‘The Man Who Mends Things’. This digital art project is part of Ann’s Ignite Somerset Artist in Residency.

“I have personal experience of the impact of climate change on the natural environment here in Somerset. I have long wanted to make work on this theme but never been able to find the right medium. I believe that animation will be very powerful in this context as it is incredibly accessible and appeals across the age ranges.” - Ann

Also we’re delighted to have on display the artwork from the School Arts & Wellbeing Project. We worked with schools in Sedgemoor to provide schools' arts-based projects to support recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Working with our InspirED partners Somerset Art Works, artists Richard Tomlinson and Jan Ollis have been appointed and will work with schools to create artworks inspired by the theme of belonging. Processes will include photography and textiles including embroidery and printing onto fabrics.

Somerset Film is also working with Somerset Art Works in Somerset West & Taunton and South Somerset schools, with artists Richard Tomlinson and Julia McKenzie.
