Quaker Arts Network and Loving Earth Project at Greenbelt Festival

August 23 - August 25

The Quaker Arts Network is delighted to be holding a Quaker presence at Greenbelt this year, in the form of a QAN gazebo, which will be a welcoming space for exploring, creating, reflecting and finding out about Quaker spirituality and witness. We are inviting donations, preferably  via JustGiving   (or by BACS) help us with the basic project costs of running this.

The Loving Earth Project will be a distinct part of the festival programme. We’ll hold a small exhibition of textile art panels in the workshop tent (Orchard area), and host two Loving Earth workshops there, on the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. There will also be a presence in the QAN gazebo (with some materials) so that people can continue (or start) to make their own Loving Earth panels.

See the Greenbelt website for details of this open-air  festival, including the programme, camping arrangements , and tickets. if you are going to the festival, whether for a day or the whole long weekend, do come and visit us in the Orchard area.

Quaker Arts Network at Greenbelt 2024 Slideshow of artworks relating to Advices and Queries  – OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE
The Quaker Arts Network Gazebo at this year’s Greenbelt Festival aims to showcase the creativity of Quakers as a means of outreach to those who might be curious to learn more about Quakerism.
The gazebo will be a space for creative conversations, games and activities and will include a large screen showing a rolling slideshow of images of artworks, photographs, drawings etc etc. They will be grouped in relation to a particular Advice or Query as a means of introducing people to our Advices and Queries.
We hope that you will feel inspired to contribute  1- 3 (max) images each linked to a particular A&Q. These may be of an existing artwork or you might want to create or photograph something especially for the slideshow. We are hoping for a very broad range of responses, creativity takes many, many forms and you definitely don’t have to consider yourself to be an artist to contribute.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Please email your images as attachments to Kirsten Lavers :  qangazeboslideshow@gmail.com
Full size phone camera jpegs will be fine – If you need help with this or have any other questions please contact Kirsten on the above email.
Deadline 10 August 2024
