Satisfy your cultural appetite with Guernsey Arts and a selection of music, dancing, drama, and Japanese embroidery...an eclectic feast!
It's time to dive into the world of art with our weekly art fix:
TEASPOONRIVERNECK will be returning to the St. James stage along with a bunch of excellent handpicked performers, from 20:00 on 21 September!
Jersey two-piece Semu Cà will be serving up Mogwai-esque soundtracks using home made tech, bass, and guitar and obviously a trombone!
Also along for the ride are the unmissable, indescribable, track suited, SKYSKRAPERS, who continue to astound/confound with each staggering sweat drenched performance.
The mystical, HOLLIE THORNE (accompanied by JOHN SEALEY), will bring her spellbinding gothic noir to enthral the big hall with her exquisite songwriting while highly impressive box fresh “newbies”, PLAY NICE, will open SPOONFEST with whip smart tunes, spinning tales of angst & romance.
Tunes all night from aRK.

Art at the Park is delighted to show Betty Watson’s beautiful embroideries, opening next Tuesday 24!
“Japanese embroidery is a continuation of a thousand-year-old tradition that first began in China then spread to Japan, and more recently to other countries around the world. Japanese embroidery involves the mastery of 46 techniques and all students are introduced to these through a series of 10 phases.”
Betty has attended courses held by accredited traditional Japanese embroidery tutors in England and France to work through the 10 phases, which she achieved within 5 years culminating in a graduation certificate in the UK.
The exhibition is at the Art at the Park Gallery, Folk and Costume Museum, Saumarez Park. The show runs from Tuesday 24 September until Friday 25 October, 10:00 until 17:00. Free entry, Accessible friendly, Museum Shop.
Please note: On the final day of the exhibition, the gallery space will be closing at 14:00.
