Calling artists of all kinds

The team at Holy Trinity Church are planning a virtual arts festival to help bring together the community. It’s the brainchild of Hilary Turner-King and Helen Swift, who are family ministers at the church. “We were originally planning to hold an Arts Festival in the church and the Old School over a weekend,” Hilary explained. “There’s so much creativity in Cuckfield and we thought it would be a great way for people to come together, showcase their work and see the work of others. However we soon realised that wasn’t going to be possible but we still wanted it to go ahead in some form.” The orgnisers are appealing for creators of art, photography, floral and digital displays, sculpture, textiles and poetry to share their original works with them, in photographic form, to inspirefm@ holytrinitycuckfield.org. The gallery is very much open for contributions from children too. The plan is that work will be displayed online at the church’s website between 8th-22nd August. There are even hopes for a poetry reading evening via Zoom. For more information see: www.holytrinitycuckfield.org
