Opening night party

Saturday 4 June, 6pm onwards

Best knees up in town (hopefully). Live music - Jem Hobbs and Adam Rose will woo you early evening before the Red Boot Band wake you up with hip jiggling tunes follwed by Junction 18 whoop everyone up into a dancing frenzy. Plus, the cheapest bar in town - this year we will be doing Pimms!

The Future's so bright: talk and discussion

Thursday 9 June, 6:30 - 9pm  BAS Gallery

Vision’s of the future?

Arts entrepreneur Simon Capes and Bard of Bath Thommie Gillow debate visions of the future of humanity. Are we headed for environmental catastrophe, war, credit crunch plus; or can the arts, along with people-power and advancing technology lead to a happier, more enlightened and peaceful society?

This short talk refereed by cultural studies scholar Dr Matthew Alford, will be a thought provoking presentation which we hope will inspire a lively audience discussion, and a ballot for the best argument!  Come along if you have questions, your own ideas or just want a little food for thought.
