F.E.A.S.T. aims to encourage debate by linking social, environmental, scientific and cultural thinking in an artful way.
F.E.A.S.T. began last year with a successful event at Uffington Village Hall. In early 2020, Kate and Liz will be hosting the second event in the series, this time at: Caythorpe and Frieston Village Hall on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March.
F.E.A.S.T. has been created by sisters Kate and Liz Genever; an artist and scientist respectively but also farmers. The family own a traditional mixed farm in a village in South Lincolnshire. Agriculture and its related concerns are central to their work, as is encouraging people to think, reflect and do.
F.E.A.S.T has two distinct elements:
1: A Free Exhibition of professional artists work relevant to the local landscape and F.E.A.S.T themes. Open across both days between 2 and 4 pm where the artists happily meet visitors and talk about their work. Complimentary tea and homemade cakes are always available. [Artists to be Confirmed]
2: A Dinner which offers a social atmosphere, delicious food and an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding. Each meal is opened with provocations from both the arts and science on sustainable farming and the environment. These will start the conversations, with everyone being involved in the discussion. We welcome guests with a wide range of interests, backgrounds and specialisms. F.E.A.S.T. utilises locally sourced ingredients, including surplus food to produce a range of plant and animal-based dishes. Each dinner lasts three hours and has 25 places. The dinner on Friday 20th runs between6 – 9 pm and costs £25.
F.E.A.S.T is supported by InvestSK, South Kesteven District Council’s economic growth and regeneration company, as part of the council’s commitment to boosting the local arts offer.
Michael Cross, head of arts at InvestSK, said: “F.E.A.S.T. provides a great opportunity for artists to bring their work to a local community and explore new ways of developing cultural programming in a village hall setting.
“Village halls play an enormous part in community life and it is important that art events feature regularly in their schedules.”
