We're hoping the forecast is right today otherwise the very talented Emma Caton will be getting a true flavour of the Paint Festival in all its soggy glory! You know that mate who looks out for you on a night out…well French Ben is that guy for artist Emma Caton, who is painting a wall featuring him at Aggs Pavillion in Pittville park this Friday and Saturday. This is one of the last pieces for the Cheltenham Paint Festival and we’d love to hear who your look out mate is. “He’s one of those friends who is there whenever, making sure that I’m safe” says Emma “So I’ve created a Be Safe Be Seen piece of work honouring him and all those people who look out for their mates.” Come say Hi, I shall be there lending a hand and there may even be some free art around if you're lucky! https://www.itsall2much.com/artists/emma-caton/
Does anyone have any photos of the wonderful volunteers we had on roller skates over the festival by any chance?
So with a whole year to plan next years event we're hoping to be bigger and better next year! Somehow 2 of us managed to pull off this years event in around 4 months and with a budget from the end of July! So who would you like to see at next years event? We are contacting some of the bigger artists to book them in now as they're in big demand obviously and would love to know who you'd like to see grace Cheltenham's walls.
Thanks everyone for your lovely feedback, it will be really helpful with attracting funding from the Arts Council and others for next year's event. Planning for next year is already well underway and we wish to build upon the wonderful art collection bestowed upon this year so if you, or someone you know, or a local business has a wall they would like painted by one of our wonderful artists please get in touch via director@cheltenhampaintfestival.co.uk and we will, hopefully, add you to our roster for next year when we go international!!
