The theme of the 2024 Somerset Art Weeks Festival is ‘Landscape: Flux and Flow’.

About this year’s exhibition:

This year, the Red Brick Building has teamed up with Bridie’s Farm in Glastonbury, as well as local artists, to offer a collection of art, installations and workshops held across the Red Brick Building, Community Garden, and Bridie’s Farm.

There will be an exhibition of paintings and photography within the Red Brick Building and The Old Tannery restaurant, plus an installation and soundscapes within the Red Brick Building Community Garden.
