Dear Members of the Arts Society West Cornwall,

Welcome to our first newsletter for 2023. We wish you all a Healthy & Happy New Year.

The first lecture of this season takes us into the exploding world of Cornelia Parker OBE RA. Parker is one of Britain's best-loved and most acclaimed contemporary artists. Using transformation, playfulness and storytelling, she engages with important issues of our time, be it violence, ecology or human rights, messages to blast us into this year.

Host, artist commissioned installation at Guildford Station

In April 22 two 5 metre works were installed in the subway of Guildford Railway Station. Liz Collins Guildford's Art Volunteer led the project which was funded by: Network Rail, SWR, GWR, Cross Country Rail, Community Rail Network and The Arts Society.

Julie Hoyle a local artist was commissioned to create the original work, Host,  which gives a sense of welcome and of place for Guildford. Julie included many local landmarks, industries- past and present  which make Guildford so special and of course the railway runs through the work connecting it all!
