About this event

THE ANCIENT SUBMERGED FOREST OF MOUNT’S BAY WILL EMERGE WITH A NEW ARTWORK REIMAGINING THIS ENCHANTING PHENOMENON.

Delivered by the EXPERIENCE project, it will be located along the upgraded Penzance to Marazion Coast Path. Due to be installed in autumn 2021, it will provide the opportunity to reflect on the bay, and its geological and ecological importance.

There will be an in-conversation event between artist Emma Smith and James Green, Director of Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange, in an online event on Thu 17 June at 11.30 am. More details and how to book on our website. https://newlynartgallery.co.uk/activities/in-conversation/

The arts trail is part of the EXPERIENCE project, which promotes experiential tourism and sustainable economic growth during October to March. Cornwall’s funding will support activities that encourage a sustainable cultural tourism approach. Connecting visitors with the distinct historical, geographical and cultural assets of the local area.  It aims to leave a positive impact on the community and visitors alike.

Emma Smith’s proposal was selected by a panel of experts, and representatives from the local community. The panel were impressed by Emma’s community engagement approach, which is at the core of her concept development. She will work in collaboration with the team at Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange to engage local residents in this artwork.
