Arts Festival in full swing
As I write, the annual Harwich Arts Festival is in full swing.
Real world exhibitions and installation, performances and events, as well as virtual exhibitions.
It’s such a community-based festival but always brings interesting artists in to entertain and delight. Most of it is free and well worth a wander through the streets and by the beach to discover works by resident participants and invited artists.
Personally, I love the sea windows competition, where residents decorate a street-facing window according to a theme. It’s always fun to get the list of participants and follow the trail through Harwich Old Town, which has now become a gallery.
Tomorrow, Friday 9 July, the flags for the Beach of Dreams installation by Kinetika, go up for one night only, with live music. Worth a visit to Harwich for that alone.
