INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED SCULPTURE TRAIL

The 5th Bergh Apton Sculpture Trail will take place over 3 weekends, from 24th May to

8th June 2008

. The Trail offers an exciting opportunity to view important works exhibited in twelve rarely accessible private gardens set within an idyllic rural

Norfolk

 village.

 

This year’s Sculpture Trail theme is “Balance”. 61 Sculptors will be exhibiting
and many will respond imaginatively to the serious environmental implications of
Climate Change, exploring how we balance our needs responsibly and ethically
with those of nature.

Important East Anglian and international artists have been selected to exhibit.
Final year students from Norwich School of Art & Design BA Visual Arts course
will exhibit in gentle parkland and for the first time Shona stone sculptors from Zimbabwe will be included. Many works will be for sale allowing the public exclusive access to original works of art by renowned artists.

The Trail will meander through the village, along footpaths, over a landscaped,
former landfill site and through newly planted woodland. Live music will
complement the settings; and there will be story-tellers, workshops and demos
too – even an especially composed performance by local schools.

To promote environmentally responsible practice and reduce the carbon footprint of the Trail, there will be no transport other than for the less mobile. This event will be essentially for walkers & bicyclists only (bring your own).

Bergh Apton is 6 miles from Norwich on the A146 Lowestoft Rd and 2 miles NW
of Loddon.  Signposted from the A47.

Gardens will be open 1030hrs – 1800hrs

I will be playing a couple of long improvised sets on Saturday 31^st May, between 12:00 midday and 4:00pm, in garden number 12, near the church.  There is an entrance fee of £10, this allowing admission to all the gardens and their delights.  Come along.
