Sutton’s largest festival of the arts will offer a number of events based around the works of writer HG Wells, who lived in the borough during some of his most successful years. For one group or individual the grant can rise to £1,500 if they wish to combine the Wells theme with the borough's ongoing commemorations of the centenary of World War One. And of course there is the chance for a grant to be match funded by Arts Network Sutton!
‘So far…we have plans for a time travel disco, late night at the library, Invisible Man shadow puppetry performances, War of the Worlds radio broadcast, music workshops, sci fi drama, creative reactions event with scientist and artists coming together, time travel sound installations, site specific sculptural workshops and exhibition, as well as street art, all celebrating the work of HG Wells,’ said a spokesperson.
‘Hopefully this has inspired some ideas, and maybe you can offer something outside of these projects? We invite work that stands out and utilises our libraries and heritage buildings, but we are open to applications celebrating other locations. However, these events should lead people back to Sutton’s libraries in some form.'
