Environmental Art Festival countdown begins
Written by author on August 12, 2015
The countdown to the Environmental Art Festival  Scotland weekend on 29 and 30 August near Thornhill began this week.
The two-day celebration of experimental art and environmental consciousness is set this year in the countryside around Morton Castle.
It will feature investigative installations and interactive workshops from a range of talented artists at the cutting edge of local, national, and international practice. Participants will be encouraged to journey into the landscape and experience art as they happen across it on a number of specially curated walks and trails.
One feature will be the River of Fire Community Barbeque, created by Jools Cox from Castle Douglas, which will cook up fish caught in local rivers and other regional produce. A bread oven will bake loaves made from corn milled on the spot.
There will also be a 30ft labyrinth, performance by Toronto dancer Bill Coleman, spherical vessels called Urchins floating on the loch and an Inuit kayak. All fit with the festival’s themes which include hospitality, journeys, generosity and inventiveness.
