Tonbridge Arts Festival October 14th to 24th....
I'm not going to go on about Tonbridge Arts Festival because I am involved a little in the organizing of it and my West Kent Book Fair is part of the programme of events so it could become boring for some of you but, if you don't know about it yet, you will be hearing more on this blog and in the local press. The festival, which runs from October 15th for ten days, has a web site also where you can see the up to date programme. If performance arts, visual or literary arts are part of what makes you tick you should get involved in some way. Go and see a few of the many events, most of which will be free or low cost entry. It might just inspire you to do some artistic yourselves....

Judging by the lack of comments, Tonbridge Blog readers don't appear to have been inspired so far. I've looked at the Arts Festival Website, (and it's not the easiset site to navigate around), and apart from the photography and art exhibitions I'm afraid there's not that much to inspire me either.
I don't wish to appear a philistine, but I cringe every time I see the word "workshop"; it reminds me of some wishy-washy, half-baked worker's-collective, hippy commune, travelling motley rag-bag crew of art-farty throw-backs from the 1960's! Come and join our "Knit your own yoghurt workshop".
If we're going to have art, then let's have some serious art rather than make-believe, pie-in-the-sky, pretend art. In the words of 10cc "Art for Art's Sake, Money for God's Sake".
PB I think you'd actually like to get in touch with your artistic side! Come along to poetry workshop and discover the inner writer within you....
I don't need a so-called "workshop" to get in touch with my artistic side, thank-you very much, TB! I have already made my views on the subject quite well known.
No hard feelings though, and I wish the Tonbridge Arts Festival every success. I will try and get along to the photography and art exhibitions, and I hope other Tonbridge residents will also support the event.
