SUMMARY:Folkestone Triennial 2025 - How Lies the Land?
DESCRIPTION:18 artists from around the world to reimagine the town through contemporary public art \nWe are excited to share the full list of artists taking part in Folkestone Triennial 2025\, which returns from 19 July to 19 October with a new edition titled How Lies the Land? \nNow in its sixth edition\, Folkestone Triennial invites 18 artists from over 15 countries to create bold new artworks across the town’s streets\, shoreline and public spaces. From large-scale sculpture and sound installations to digital works and community collaborations\, this year’s commissions will explore the layers of land and life beneath our feet. \nCurated by Sorcha Carey\, Director of Collective\, Edinburgh and former Director of Edinburgh Art Festival\, the 2025 Triennial brings a thoughtful\, place-based approach shaped by landscape\, history and people. \n\n“Folkestone Triennial has long been a pioneering force in commissioning public art that responds to place\,” says Carey. “This year\, artists will engage with extraordinary and unexpected sites\, creating works that spark new ways of seeing the landscape and our relationship with it.” \n\nInstallations will appear across the town\, from a disused railway line to a former customs house and a coastal lookout. These sites carry powerful stories of migration\, environmental change and resilience that speak to local experiences and global conversations. \nAlastair Upton\, Chief Executive of Creative Folkestone\, adds: \n\n“Over the last two decades\, the Folkestone Triennial has helped to reimagine the town as a centre for artistic innovation. This year’s edition builds on that legacy\, bringing world-class artists to create work that will leave a lasting impression on our public spaces and cultural life.” \n\nWhether you are discovering a hidden artwork\, following the coast or exploring the town’s creative neighbourhoods\, the Triennial offers new ways to experience Folkestone. \n\nWho’s Taking Part?\nThe 2025 edition will feature new commissions by:Céline Condorelli\, Monster Chetwynd\, Dineo Seshee Bopape\, Cooking Sections\, Dorothy Cross\, John Gerrard\, J Maizlish Mole\, Rubiane Maia\, Emeka Ogboh\, Prabhakar Pachpute\, Katie Paterson\, Laure Prouvost\, Emilija Škarnulytė\, Rae-Yen Song\, Jennifer Tee\, Sara Trillo\, Hanna Tuulikki and Sarah Wood. \nTogether\, these artists bring a wide range of voices and approaches\, from Turner Prize winners and international exhibitors to new talents rooted in local experience. \n\nA Town Reimagined\nSince its launch in 2008\, Folkestone Triennial has continued to grow in ambition and reach\, welcoming over 220\,000 visitors in 2021. The 2025 edition builds on this momentum\, deepening the relationship between public art and place. \nAs part of Folkestone – A Brighter Future\, a major regeneration project supported by Folkestone & Hythe District Council\, two new works by Céline Condorelli and Monster Chetwynd will become permanent additions to the town. \n\n“Creativity has become part of the fabric of Folkestone\,” said a council spokesperson. “These new commissions are part of a wider regeneration that puts imagination\, joy and community at the heart of our town centre.” \n\n\nPlan Your Visit\nFolkestone Triennial 2025 runs from Saturday 19 July to Sunday 19 October. More details about the artists\, their projects and locations will be announced later this spring.

SUMMARY:Folkestone’s 20th Century Contemporary Art Collection
DESCRIPTION:In 2023 Folkestone Museum were the recipients of a very generous gift from Creative Folkestone! \nFor a little over forty years Folkestone had an arts centre on The Leas\, the New Metropole Arts Centre\, housed in what until 1959 had been the Metropole Hotel. Whilst the majority of the building was converted into flats the main public rooms were not. Into these the building’s owner\, and philanthropist\, Gerald Glover created a venue that would see art\, in its widest sense\, embedded in the town. \nAs the work and reputation of the New Metropole Arts Centre grew it became nationally renowned. Attracting major exhibitions including retrospectives including Henry Moore and Jacob Epstein during its first ten years\, it would\, during the 1970s come under the wing of the Kent Education Committee; in effect Kent County Council (KCC)\, as well as attracting funding & support from the Arts Council. \nInitially the Centre only borrowed artworks for display but with a new education remit as an adult education venue it started to assemble its own collection. The collecting occurred in a variety of ways\, including gifts from artist\, purchases and works produced on site. Much was driven by the centre itself but acquisitions also came about while working alongside the KCC visual arts loans service\, which as lent to schools and similar organisation across the county. With the closure of the centre in the 2000s the collection was inherited by Creative Folkestone\, who in turn worked with the Folkestone Arts Trust\, as day-to-day custodians to display the collection in other venues in the town until the global pandemic arose. \nThe collection includes work by Royal College of Art graduates Fred Cuming and John Titchell\, who both lived and worked locally. Others such as David Greenhall and Michael Chaplin also feature\, Chaplin being well known as one of the experts on Channel 4’s Watercolour Challenge. Beyond artists working in Kent the collection also features work by well known artists such as John Piper\, Edward Ardizzone\, Peter Blake and Carel Weight. The last significant acquisition occurred in the 1990s with a gift from Carel Weight of work from his own collection\, both his paintings and works by Andrew Freeth\, Lucien & Orvida Pissaro among others. \nWith thanks to Chair Sir Roger De Hann CBE DL and fellow Trustees of Creative Folkestone \nWith over 200 works in The Metropole Collection the exhibition will be regularly rehung as it is not possible to display it in its entirety. Please note that for preservation of the works on display light levels have been kept low\, but can be risen temporarily for those with visual impairments. \nThe exhibition closes on Saturday 15th June\, open hours are 10.00am to 4.00pm; last entry to the exhibition at 3.30pm. \nFor further details email enquiries@folkestone-tc.gov.uk\, call 01303 257946 and select option 0 (office hours only) or call into Folkestone Museum & Town Hall.
