Fourth Wall Folkestone CIC

So many thank yous because so many people were involved in this project! ❤️ Thank you to all the venues who got on board with my egg based ideas from the get go and trusted us with a little space in their window. Thank you to all the artists who made a piece for said windows. Your thoughtful, confronting work highlighted so many important issues. I feel honoured to have been able to showcase your pieces. Thank you to all the artists who responded to the open call and created a wonderful egg for the egg-xhibition in The Stables Gallery. I appreciate the donation of your time so much. The range of work was just fabulous to see. Thank you to Alba (FWF @_artswork_ Breakthrough Trainee) for all her hard work helping me pull this project together. It’s not an easy task liasing with 50+ artists and venues but she did it brilliantly. Then thanks to every single one of you who shared our Instagram posts, stopped to read one of the trail vinyls, popped into the egg-xhibition - your support means so much and your responses to our new way of working has been really encouraging, so thank you. Sick Of It was kindly supported by the @folkestonehythedc Ward Budget Scheme. After a bit of a hibernation, we’ll get cracking on our next pop up! Stay tuned! - - - - - #FourthWallFolkestone #CommunityInterestCompany #Folkestone #TheOldHighStreetFolkestone #FolkestoneArtists

It’s the last two days of Sick Of It: The Egg-Xhibition! Wander the trail starting at the top of @theoldhighstreet_folkestone and follow it all the way to @the_stables_artgallery for the brilliant group show. All the artists involved have poured so much into their pieces, all exploring in their own ways, the themes of women’s health and mental health. Please do come and see while you can. It’s open today (Sat 11 Apr) and tomorrow (Sun 12 Apr) between 12-4pm. - - - - - #fourthwallfolkestone #theoldhighstreetfolkestone #folkestonecreativequarter #folkestone #fundraiser

This is an Alba appreciation post! Anyone who has been to any of our events or exhibitions over the last six month has probably had the pleasure of meeting Alba. She joined us in September for six months as a Creative Programme Assistant which was made possible by the brilliant @_artswork_ Breakthrough Trainee Programme. The idea being that this programme acts as a stepping stone for young people to get hands on workplace experience and gain employment skills. I think Alba will agree that working with us gave her plenty of hands on experience in the running of a creative arts organisation! Painting walls, chatting with visitors, taking payments, admin tasks, marketing - basically getting stuck in with all aspects of running a small arts based business. And all this led to the eggs! As a kind of ‘final project’ Alba led on liasing with all the artists and venues involved and curated the eggs themselves to make the gorgeous display in the exhibition. We are so proud of what she achieved in these six months and it’s been a pleasure to watch her confidence grow in that time. We were able to offer her a few extra shifts after her traineeship ended, and tomorrow is her last day. So if you’re nearby please do pop into The Stables Gallery 12-4pm today or tomorrow to see her and wish her well. THANK YOU ALBA! 👏 The Breakthrough Programme was kindly supported by @_artswork_ @walker_construction_ltd and @folkestonehythedc - - - - - #FourthWallFolkestone #CommunityInterestCompany #Artswork #WalkerConstructionTrust #FHDCwardbudgetscheme

Have you seen Sick Of It: The Egg-Xhibition yet? So many artists have contributed to make this exhibition really special. Come and have a look! Last weekend is this weekend! Open 12-4pm Friday through Sunday at The Stables Gallery. - - - - - #FourthWallFolkestone #Fundraiser #WomensHealth #MentalHealth #Folkestone

We’ve added more eggs! Because a bunch of this year’s brilliant eggs have already found new homes (yay!), we were left with some display space (boo!). So we’ve brought out some of the previous year’s creations and added them to the display. 🙌 There is a very scientific way of knowing which is which… their little number labels are written in sharpie pen, whereas this year’s labels are all in biro! Just ask the person invigilating if you’re not sure. The exhibition continues 12-4pm, today, Monday and then Fri-Sun next week. - - - - - #fourthwallfolkestone #folkestone #folkestonecreativequarter #fundraiser #communityinterestcompany

Time for some close ups of some of the egg-xcellent artworks in display! All eggs are kept anonymous until after purchase so we can’t reveal the artists behind these beauties just yet. However, as and when they sell we will reveal them on our stories so keep your eyes peeled for reveals! There are loads of thoughtful, powerful pieces on display, so please do pop in to see. Open this week on Friday, Saturday and Monday 12-4pm. - - - - - #FourthWallFolkestone #CommunityInterestCompany #FolkestoneEvents #Fundraiser #FolkestoneArtists
