What we did in 2007:

  • Textiles in Performance: We featured a live dance performance and installation devised by Studio 7 on Saturday July 7th.

  • ECCO!” We launched ECCO!” (Encouraging Children to Collect (art) Objects). We asked every exhibitor to donate a working sketch. These were for sale in the entry tent and were only sold to young people under 18 years of age.
  • University of Gloucestershire: Foundation and BA students from the University of Gloucestershire made a series of works as part of their coursework remit.

  • Bursaries were awarded to:
  • Sound Intermedia for a sound and music installation inspired by the FreshAir show in collaboration with the Cheltenham Music Festival.
  • Laura Ellen Bacon for “Water Bound Form” a Somerset willow sculpture to be created on site.
  • Lorna Green for a floral installation.

  • The William Yeoward Award
    William Yeoward, a generous supporter of Fresh Air for over a decade, is
    well known for his understanding of good design and craftsmanship.
    Innovative as always, he created a new type of bursary for Fresh Air.
    He is sponsored Colin Hawkins of Loco Glass Ltd to create a new candelabra
    in hot glass. This was auctioned during the exhibition and £3000 was raised to sponsor another young artist in 2009, to be chosen by William Yeoward.

  • Teacher's Development Day: An inspirational one day workshop for
    teachers of art with exhibiting artist Damian Llambias.
