One of the exhibition highlights will be the amazing Wall of Curiosities, a collection of sculptures and paintings from local artists which will be displayed behind a wall of \u201cpeep-holes\u201d allowing spectators to view art from a range of different perspectives.<\/p>\n

There will also be opportunities to view artists creating art-works, watch demonstrations, including wood-turning and live digital art or you can roll up your sleeves and get stuck in at the embroidery school or craft some paper and blackboard art.<\/p>\n

Children will be thrilled by the sound installation, a large painting which responds to the sense of touch and the giant blackboard mash wall which will allow people to leave their own mini-works of art! Or for the budding writers, how about swapping words for art?<\/p>\n

One of Firsty\u2019s members Inga Hamilton commented: “Firsty?, a network based in Bangor for creative talent, is exploding onto the scene. And it’s testament to NDBC’s understanding of the arts’ economic power that they have invited Firsty? to be a part of Sea Bangor this year. <\/em><\/p>\n

By filling the events Curiosity Tent with live art, craft and humour like you’ve never seen before, we hope\u00a0to make Bangor people proud of all the amazingly creative people that live in and around the town – many of whom boast international careers.\u00a0Throw out your pre-conceptions of what art and craft are about and come down during the weekend. We promise you’ll be surprised.”<\/em><\/p>\n
