A special exhibition to mark the culmination of an epic eight week walk across Gloucestershire with artists, four donkeys and a cart. The journey was led by project manager Sarah Blowers (Fairgame Theatre), who was joined by a commissioned artist in each district of Gloucestershire. Eleven artists and writers were commissioned to participate in different parts of the journey, lead art workshops in schools and during the public camps. The general public were invited to join in with the six public camps, art workshops and guided walks.The aim of the project was to create time and space for artists to research and develop new ideas for work through the activity of walking, camping and by directly engaging the Gloucestershire landscapes, other artists and the public. The As I Walked Out commissioned artists and writers were:Lyn Wait, Louise Gilbert Scott, Sally Hampson, Barney Heywood(Stand and Stare), Lucy Heywood (Stand and Stare)John Hegley, Louisa Fairclough, Ella BryantJo Bousfield, Deborah Aguirre JonesZoe BenbowLed by Fairgame Theatre in partnership with Stroud Valley Artspace (SVA) and is a recognised Cultural Olympiad project.www.sva.org.uk asiwalkedout.com www.fairgametheatre.com
