The Broadway Arts Festival 2012 Unveils Impressive Programme
The Broadway Arts Festival (www.broadwayartsfestival.com), which celebrates the Cotswold village’s artistic heritage, has unveiled a fantastic line-up for this year’s event (9 to 17 June 2012), which focuses on the work of John Singer Sargent RA and the Broadway Colony*, featuring artist and garden designer Alfred Parsons RA.
The highlight of the 2012 Festival is “Country Gardens: John Singer Sargent RA, Alfred Parsons RA and their contemporaries”, a major exhibition at Haynes Fine Art featuring over 20 oils and watercolours by renowned 19th-century artist and garden designer Alfred Parsons RA, together with important works by John Singer Sargent, Alma Tadema, Lucien Pissaro and many others. The exhibition will be unveiled by Britain’s favourite polymath Sir Roy Strong on Saturday 9 June and will remain open till the end of the Festival.
To honour this year’s featured artist and garden designer Alfred Parsons RA, the Festival is organising a national art competition with the theme of “In the Garden”. The winner will receive the John Singer Sargent Prize and £1,000 in cash, courtesy of sponsors John Noott Galleries of Broadway. The competition is open to all and the closing date for entries is 27 April, with all work to be submitted by mid-May; more details can be found on the Festival website.
