Coastal Currents Arts Festival
The arts festival that asks us to look again
We can all get too familiar with our surroundings and somehow not see them in the way we once did.
Spanning 1066 Country, Coastal Currents is a festival which encourages artists and performers to re-examine the locations around them, to find a new way to use them, and thereby challenge the rest of us to effectively see them for the first time again.
