Community Art Project
Charlie Cluff, co-founder of Guildford Festival of the Arts, is a photographic/installation artist who grew up in Guildford. She studied photography in New York before moving back to the UK in Covid to finish her studies at the London College of Communication (UAL). Charlie has recently been inspired by the use of Art as a therapy and the archiving of photography. Her thesis, Photographic Memory: Exploring the relationship between therapeutic and archival practice looks at her grandfather’s archive, looking at how he balanced his life in dentistry alongside his creative practise, establishing a connection between his photographic work and her own.
More information about the project can be found here.
As part of the community art project, Charlie would like to build a similar installation to that of the one she built in memory of her grandfather. She hopes to build a photographic house from the memories of those who have photographed Guildford. The installation contains over 10,000 35mm slides and encourages those who have them at home (who don’t know what to do with them now we have entered the world of technology and instagram) to contribute them to this art installation.
If you would like to be involved feel free to contact Charlie directly: info@charliecluff.com

About Guildford House
Guildford House was built in 1660 for Guildford lawyer and later 3 times town mayor, John Childe. The house stayed with the family until 1726 when it was purchased by John Martyr, also a lawyer. It remained in his family until 1850 when it was bought by Frank Aptd as a shop. It was a stationers and a book shop from 1914 - 1928. In 1929 it was converted into a restaurant, Nutalls, which operated until 1956. It became the town’s art gallery in 1959.

Hope Rising
Location: The Lighthouse Guildford
Opening Times:
Esther is an oil painter from Surrey, specialising in seascapes and portraits. Esther produces striking images, capturing a single moment in a much bigger, vibrant story. Esther’s motivation to paint is to produce art that people respond to emotionally, whether that be through nostalgia, peace or anticipation of hope. Working in layers of oil paint, Esther enjoys playing with texture and light to create atmosphere on the canvas. Esther was a finalist in Surrey Artist of the Year 2022 and enjoys being part of a rich creative community.
Faye Campbell is a contemporary mixed media abstract artist who creates with spontaneity and soul. Her pieces are built in layers, using found and repurposed materials—often with a history of their own, passed on from vintage collections. You’ll notice her love of colour right away. Spray paint features alongside other mediums, bringing a subtle street art energy and a playful, graffiti-inspired edge. Lately, nature—especially flowers—has been a fresh source of inspiration, adding a gentle botanical feel to the work. Faye hopes her art brings a smile to your face and a sense of positivity to your space.
Working in repertory theatre in the 70s
Location: Yvonne Arnaud
Opening Times: 10:30 - 16:00
A John Walmsely Exhibition
John Walmsley has always photographed people doing what they do, everyday life. In 1973, he lived and worked alongside the Salisbury Playhouse company photographing how they put on a play and what it was like to be an actor in those days. The exhibition is taken from this body of work and shows rehearsals, sourcing props, learning lines in their ‘Digs’ and days off. In the 70s, each town had it’s own rep theatre and the actors and audiences got to know each other because they went to the same pubs after performances. Sadly, the rise of TV and government cuts proved too much and rep died out.
