ArtWaves Festival returns for 2017 Bridlington Spa is once again delighted to announce the return of ArtWaves Festival for its third year, taking place on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May 2017 with an additional fringe programme running from Monday 8 May. ArtWaves is a visual arts festival which showcases traditional, digital, contemporary and urban art through a vibrant programme curated for all; from the experienced artist to those simply looking to get creative. The 2017 programme will see the return of artists from previous ArtWaves alongside an elective mix of new artists to create the festival line up. There will be demonstrations from award winning artists, masterclasses, workshops, installations, den building, live street art and much more. For those with a passion for art there is a number of bookable workshops for varied experience levels in a range of art forms, these are limited capacity and selling quickly so we would advise booking soon. Those with younger children can have fun with our den building, doodling and other creative drop in sessions whilst completing their Arts Award certificate at the festival. This year sees the return of street art and the urban twist to ArtWaves with a collaborative piece between artists and the community, The Jungle. This will combine the festivals outreach work with the live spray art over the weekend by leading street art artists. The official festival programme is available online at bridspa.com/artwaves.
