  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

(click photo for larger image)Warnborough College will be hosting its Graduation Ceremony on 16 July 2017, and CArtsCon - Our International Arts Conference, will run from 18-21 July, in beautiful Canterbury, U.K. The theme for this year’s conference will be Art for Change—and you can read all about it on the conference website. The conference offers a variety of wonderful programs related to all the arts. Interested participants also will have their works published, following the conference.

Canterbury is a beautiful, walkable medieval city—and truly is one of the loveliest spots on the planet. And…you can also travel to London in less than an hour, directly from Canterbury, on the high speed rail. Travel from there to Paris and other cities is also quite convenient.

Please do consider including us in your Summer travel plans. You’ll learn a lot, will have a great time, and will make new friends and contacts from all over the globe! You can participate (check the website for deadline dates) OR just attend. Either way—it’s a great way to spend your time.

There are plenty of lovely and affordable places to stay in Canterbury—and you won’t need a vehicle while you’re there. But…the city fills up quickly so it’s best to make your arrangements early. Tips are available on the website.
