This interesting exhibition sponsored by Guernsey Arts features Guernsey-born artist Andy Smith, AKA Smithsonian Rösterino, at the Gatehouse Gallery on the Elizabeth College grounds on 10 November.
With a unique blend of collages, assemblages and mixed media installations - highlighting the relevant subject of climate and ecological emergency - this show is both thought-provoking in context and stylistically captivating.
It opens between 18:00 and 21:30, while the artist himself can be met on 11 and 12 November throughout the day.
Held by Guernsey Social Dancing, this event is perfect for both seasoned dancers, and those wishing to delve into something new. The festival will consist of three workshops held at Ignite Studios, at the new Rock Health facility in Victoria Avenue.
Each workshop will be hosted by internationally renowned dance teachers Rasa Pauzaite and Manon Batrel. The event kicks off this Friday 3 November, with a two hour Bachata workshop held by Rasa, between 18:30 and 20:30.
Rasa will be returning to the studio between 12:00 and 13:30 to hold the Bachata ‘sensual’ workshop on Saturday 4. This will be followed by a Kizomba workshop held by Manon between 14:30 and 17:00.
Saturday evening welcomes dancers to a free social event at Amigos until 21:00. Sunday sees a morning Salsa class between 09:30 and 10:15 with Victor, and a Salsa workshop from 10:15 until 13:00 with Rasa.
