select festival 2020

The Select Festival 2020 will be opening in May and be based in Nailsworth a lovely town close to Stroud.

Ground Works

Ground Works is presented in partnership with Kel Portman.

At a time when public awareness is focussed on environmental and climate related issues Ground Works aim is to connect creativity with the power of the landscape and artists who are inspired by landscape and the wonderful outdoors.

Walking artists will set out in March, on the same day in various landscapes across the UK and abroad to record and share the experience of their chosen walks in a project called Landlinks. The ethos of the walks is 'randomness’ or ‘unattachment’ thus we avoid making choices about what to see, where to look and selecting only the beautiful, sublime or picturesque. Resulting work across the creative disciplines will be exhibited in May.

Among the artists taking part in the exhibition are Kel Portman, Paul Newman, Blake Morris, Claudia Zeiske, Bill Psarras, Michael Fairfax, Jane Ponsford and Kim Norton will bring ‘Earthbound’.

Workshops and talks will link to the Festival theme. We welcome Junglist and the Natural Cookery School with events in May. https://www.naturalcookeryschool.com https://junglistatelier.co.uk
