7th – 23rd September 2012 Wirksworth Festival is a leading rural arts festival where everyone can enjoy great art in a unique and inspiring setting. As part of the Contemporary Visual Arts Programme Kirsty E Smith has been commissioned to make large scale works which will be exhibited within the ancient building of St Mary’s Church. For this year’s commissioned programme a theme has emerged of work which emphasises the interactive nature of art, imagination and the importance of play. Kirsty E Smith’s Frillip Moolog ‘beings’ fit perfectly into this theme. www.frillipmoolog.co.ukWirksworth Festival offers a relaxed, accessible way to enjoy the best new work from regional and national artists in a relaxed and beautiful setting. Wirksworth Festival has been described as brilliant, electrifying, weird, radical, curious, unexpected, dramatic, visionary and provocative. It shows contemporary visual art in the heart of rural Derbyshire. Wirksworth and its surrounds have a unique character and situation, positioned at the meeting point between rural and urban, agricultural and industrial, ancient and contemporary.8th and 9th Sept: Art and Architecture Weekend Sat 15 Sept, 10.30 – 3:30pm: Curator’s TourTue 18 Sept, 7.30 – 8.30pm, St Mary’s Church: Meet the Artists (commissioned programme) www.frillipmoolog.co.uk
