Lyme Regis ArtsFest Exhibition

I made a point of visiting the main exhibition for the festival and found an outstanding collection of pictures, photographs, rag rugs, glass sculptures and pottery, to name but a few items on display.

it was difficult to get a good shot of some of the work as there was so much on display. I managed to show, in the above picture, painted pictures, rag rugs and photographs.  There was so much to see I needed a good 30/45 minutes to walk round it properly to see everything. The show is on every day until Sunday 16th September.

Another benefit of this ArtsFest is that you don't have to make a special visit to the exhibition as you can see various artists' work as you walk round the local shops.  Most of the shop windows have a display of one particular artist which is also available for sale.  So, art amongst the cabbages, what will I find next?

Lyme Regis Arts Fest 2012

We're very lucky in West Dorset/East Devon to have so many artistic communities in the area.  There is always something going on, be it artists' exhibitions, photographic exhibitions or the opportunity to take part in making art.


At present we are in the throes of the Lyme Regis ArtsFest running from 8th-16th September in and around the town, see link below for range of events available. There is a wide range of events running throughout the 8-days and members of the local community and visitors are encouraged to view and take part where applicable.
