Sunday Parking

PARKING UPDATE

Today the West Braes grass area is closed as it is still too muddy. We are now filling up the main Charles Street car park which is partially open, and then we will start filling the primary school car park. 

If you have work to collect from the Open Exhibition please allow time to park. The school closure time cannot be extended so please collect before 4.30pm.

PARKING NEWS FLASH

Because of the heavy rainfall this week both grassland car parks are now closed.

There is very limited parking on dry ground for about 100 cars, in Pittenweem itself.

More (limited) parking is available in Anstruther, next to the Waid Academy and in the car park across the road from the Waid.

Please use public transport where possible, sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Flashcraft!

Thanks to everyone who was involved in arranging the Flashcraft event on Saturday 6th throughout the village. As you can see from the video above, our volunteers did a fantastic job of transforming into human plinths! More craft from the selected artists can be seen until Sunday at 5pm in Venue 55 on South Loan.

Parking

If you are planning to visit the festival this year please use the two designated car parks which are clearly signposted from the main road (West Braes & Charles Street) and are extremely close to all of the action. Coaches must park in the West Braes car park. In both car parks there are disabled toilets, and there is designated disabled parking in the Charles Street car park.

We also provide a shuttle bus, which can assist those with buggies and non motorised wheelchairs. This runs on a loop from the two car parks to the High Street and harbour approximately every 20 minutes.

Please do not take your car into the village.

Most streets are restricted to residential access only and, along with the parking cards that you will see on resident's cars, there will also be parking attendants and stewards ensuring that these rules are enforced.

Another sneak peek!

Following on from yesterday's glimpse into the installation of Helen Denerley's work, we have a gorgeous image of Kate Downie's newly installed exhibition.

'Bridging the Gap' is a must see exhibition, inspired by civil engineering; head along to Venue 1 at the Old Town Hall in Pittenweem during the festival to see it. There will also be a talk by Kate at 2pm on Saturday the 6th of August. Tickets are £3 & can be purchased from the festival office in advance.


Most of these drawing are being exhibited for the first time and they are linked by a new series of colour field mono-prints made specifically for this event.

Get ready for this year's invited artists!...

Today our volunteers began the install of invited artist Helen Denerley's work. Here's a sneak peek of just a few of the fantastic animal sculptures that Helen will be exhibiting on the pier this year. We can't wait to see this finished parade of creatures!

Open Exhibition

Day 1 of the Open Exhibition hand-in is now over, phew! Our staff & volunteers took in over 100 entries today, with a huge variety of styles of artwork submitted at the Primary School. We will be open 12-3pm tomorrow again, but please note that, because of the size of the school hall, once we reach 200 entries we cannot accept any more. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
