FOREWORD

BUY TICKETS

Broadway’s close connection with the arts stretches back over 130 years to the famous Broadway Colony of artists - the group of painters, musicians and writers, most notably John Singer Sargent - who came to the village and found inspiration for their creativity. Broadway remains a destination for art-lovers and an inspiration for artists to this day

Visit www.broadwayartsfestival.com/events to book online or from the ticket office from 25th May.

The Festival also looks to the future and as a registered charity makes financial grants to young arts students from the local area. They, in turn, have been generous in their support of the Festival. Hopefully, they will also play their part in carrying forward Broadway’s rich artistic heritage and its place as a vibrant centre for the creative arts. John Kiszely Chairman of Trustees The Broadway Arts Festival Trust

But increasingly the Broadway Arts Festival has developed into an opportunity for wider participation and creativity. Building on the success of the previous programme of art and craft workshops, we are running an even larger number of these events in an extensive range of media aimed at every age and ability. We are repeating the hugely popular choral workshop and performance, this time featuring Mozart`s Requiem. An extensive free schools programme provides the opportunity for participation and creativity for Broadway`s children. The Great Broadway Paint-Off is a new event for artists of all ages to paint with professional artists. Whether you come to the Festival to watch and listen or to participate, we are sure that you will be inspired and stimulated. You will certainly be most welcome!

Art of The Great War 1914 – 1918

The Broadway Colony Room

Born in 1932, John Noott well remembers talk of the Great War as the country was busy preparing itself for the Second World War. These were formative events in a young life and proved to be foundational for a later passion that has seen John gather together an important collection of war art during his 50 years as an art dealer.

A permanent exhibition about the world-famous Broadway Colony, of renowned artists, writers, musicians and actors, most notably John Singer Sargent, has now been permanently installed in a dedicated room of the Broadway Museum and Art Gallery on behalf of the Broadway Arts Festival.

Showing the humour as well as the horror, on the front line and the home front, this exhibition is a curated mix of original art and prints, by both official war artists and amateurs. In a time when the last surviving veterans are no longer with us, it offers us a fascinating first-hand insight into one of the most significant events in modern world history.

Venue: Broadway Museum & Art Gallery Admission prices: £5, £10 per family

This important piece of Broadway heritage recounts the interestingly interwoven lives of those who came to live, work and play together here in the late 19th and early 20th century. Written and curated by Karen Bloch, this fascinating story is told in a beautifully illustrated and highly informative display. Venue: Broadway Museum & Art Gallery. Admission prices: £5, £10 per family

In this demonstration Tony will take an everyday scene and, through a subtle approach and through focusing on light, colour and tone, will give the motif an elevated atmosphere. “My subjects are often oriented around the mood of the sea, skies, harbours, ships and figures; I am constantly absorbing everything that is around me”.

The Story of France: Lecture, with John Julius Norwich

We are thrilled to welcome New York Times best-seller and award-winning author Donna M. Lucey to this year’s festival to talk about her seductive, multi-layered, new book ‘Sargent’s Women’: Four Lives Behind the Canvas. In what the New York Times describes as a “rollicking snow globe version of an almost unimaginable world of wealth” Lucey illuminates the lives of four headstrong women painted by the high society portraitist John Singer Sargent.

Whilst on tour with Giffords Circus for their 2018 show ‘My Beautiful Circus’, much loved comedic genius, Tweedy the Clown, will be taking a trip to Broadway for a one-off show. Expect his usual antics, tricks and side-splitting jokes, adored by children and adults alike. Your face will ache from smiling! With grateful thanks to Giffords Circus.
