Our art trail is especially exciting this year as we have teamed up with the Shepard Neame pubs in Guildford (the Star Inn and the Britannia pub) to offer you the opportunity to receive a free drink by taking part in our art trail. Make sure you get on of our stamps at our art trail locations in order to receive your free drink.

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.
