Crowborough Arts supports the arts, and arts practitioners in our area.

During the current COVID-19 outbreak, like so many other organisations, we have had to suspend our programme for the time being. However, we've decided to use this website to keep in touch, and to create a space for use as a showcase for our members' work. So we're inviting you to contribute - perhaps a new painting or photograph you'd like to share, a poem - your own or one you think might strike a chord at this time - or perhaps a short story. We'll also be including the latest news about CA's planned activities for later in the year, for example, Open Studios. 

Please do get in touch if you'd like to contribute. The page will take shape over time, but we have some material from Steering Group members to start us off. Please email Gaye with your suggestions and ideas. In particular, if you'd like to be featured as an artist, with a picture of you or your work, and would be willing to give a short telephone interview, we'd love to hear from you.

Mary Harris has shared a new woodcut: She says, 'I was looking for an interesting group of trees and chose Kings Standing, because of the shapes the trees make growing together. Also the sunshine on the boughs shows the depth of the shadows. It is a reduction woodcut printed in 3 layers, Burnt Sienna, then more wood removed before printing in the Pine Green, finally remove all parts I want to stay green, then finally the Black layer.'

OPEN STUDIOS 

We are of course hoping that we will still be able to go ahead with our Open Studios project in September. The OS team have put together a letter to everyone who's expressed an interest. Read the full text here.

When Stan Came Back by Gaye Jee Last summer, our cat went missing for three days. We put notices all around Rotherfield and were offered no less than four grey cats during the time he was missing! This story is an imaginary version of what happened. It was written for children, but I hope you will enjoy it! Click on the picture to download the pdf.
