This year we are offering another way of sharing the inspirational work produced in the area with our audiences. We have invited our membership to respond to the materials in the Forest of Dean, the Wye Valley and Borders. Many artists are inspired by their experience of being here, or use the materials found locally... We have invited Carolyn Black of Flow Contemporary Arts to lead on a curatorial group, to devise a new series of commissions for the FandVOS members and invited artists. So as well as the Taster Exhibition at Taurus Crafts (see page 16) we have a specially curated exhibition being hosted at The Garden Café (see page 21). The invitation has been taken up by 8 artists who have risen to the challenge, producing a dynamic response and a captivating series of works. Each artist will be awarded £100 for contributing to the event, which will be the first of many initiatives devised by our curatorial group. We’re extremely grateful to Carolyn Black for her inspiration, determination and thoroughness in putting together this event, which we are sure you too will find inspirational.
