BorthFest is the idea of Gallery Owner Sadie Everard. Severely injured in a car accident, Everard is in a wheelchair for life, unbowed she started her small contemporary gallery here in Borth. She has also asked the community of our strange art colony village to come together and make a Festival of Art…

Ableism is real, and Everard was refused funding. That’s not stopping her or us…

Our program has grown and is coming together as we approach the final week of preparations for BorthFest… who will come… who knows?

It is happening, and as one artist said to me this week, if we run it and only the village comes, it has done more than enough… but somehow, I think this will grow.

We have an art talk, film showing, comic festival, charity festival, art group show, concerts and music workshops, celebrity opening, scarecrow competition with 51 entries, open studios, and an onland synchronised swim team.

I’m asking what art is with an installation made from my house.

We finish on Monday with a Sunset Painting workshop and Art Happening at 8 pm on Monday, the 27th. Sunset is at 9.25 pm. Bring your art gear and a bottle. It will be messy…

The time-travelling me will be filming and making lots of noise on social media this week and throughout the many events… here is a selection of posts and shorts… more on the way! There is no sound on these as the social media bots demand music from them…
