ANF jubilee project: Sark
.JPG)
The project for the UK's Channel Island of Sark is the fifteenth of the Artists for Nature Foundation and marks their very special twenty year jubilee. The aim is to promote the landscape, wildlife and community of Sark through the work of renowned international wildlife artists from a range of disciplines. In summary we are hoping to bring these artists to Sark on two occasions during 2011. They will engage with local people and visitors in "show and tell" sessions on several evenings during their stay. The artists will also work with children from Sark school and encourage them to develop their interest in art and nature.
The work produced by the artists themselves will be exhibited on Saturday 14th May at Stocks Hotel from 8pm where the Sark community, visitors and press will be able to meet the artists and see their drawings, paintings and sculptures.
It is also hoped thart sufficient funding will be found to exhibit their work in Guernsey and internationally and as with all previous ANF projects a book and film will be produced highlighting the work which they have done in an effort to promote and conserve our Island's natural beauty and way of life.
The first artists visit "Art for the love of Sark" will take place from 4th to 16th May 2011.
