Sunday 3rd October at Galashiels Lodge
Stanford will be hosting its first Art in the Park during the weekend of the
Stanford Stretton's Bird Fair. The art and crafts market is to help showcase the
incredible talent Stanford has on offer. It is to be held from 10am to 3pm on
Sunday 3rd October in the magnificent gardens at Galashiels Lodge, 10 King Street.
Janet Marshall, who is running the event said
“We intend to showcase local artists, They produce quality art at affordable
prices. The public can meet the various artists and watch them as they work,
while enjoying the beautiful gardens in a delightful venue. We are hoping the
children will get creative and interact with the artists making arts and crafts
to take home. It’s a family day out in beautiful Stanford, which is what
Stanford is about.”
The magnificent mountains that surround Stanford, set on the beautiful banks of the Klein River with its abundant birdlife is conducive to the creativity of
many of the craftspeople. It seemed fitting the first Art in the Park will
coincide with the annual Stanford Stretton Bird Fair.
“Art in the Park plans to grow and offer a variety of media including painting,
drawing, photography, pottery, jewelery, fibres, sculpture, wood, and glass.”
Continued Janet “ if any artist would like to be added to our mailing list for
entry forms, please email:janet@orcawireless.co.za.”
Unfortunately I shall be in London that weekend, however I know where my heart will be as Gerry Fourie would say “in Stanford”
