What’s happening on the day…!

We’re really delighted to announce that Cygnets Art School will be running a drop-in art session all day at the Festival, 11am - 4pm. Everyone welcome!

26/08/2025

We are looking for local artist to take part in our art exhibition. We are running our event alongside Art Walk Porty, so those taking part in are already included, being showcased on our super sized map.
If you are not taking part in the Art walk you still have time to be included in our event. The exhibition space is more of an expose for local artist rather than an exhibition in the traditional sense.
You will have an A3 space to share:
- bio about you and your work (can include images, but no originals or prints)
- how you can be contacted: Socials, website etc.

For more info and if you would like to take part please get in touch - dm us or email [email protected]

We are really excited to announce that Säde Foley Art will be participating at the Towerbank Creative Festival, on Saturday 6th October, 11am - 4pm.

Säde's art is inspired by details in nature, escapism and her roots and travels in the North. Working in mixed media, she enjoys exploring contrasts and harmonies of colour and pattern while evoking atmospheres and environments that bring calm and joy. In addition to painting she also makes colourful macrame and crochet earrings and other thread-based crafts as a complementary creative outlet.
