Go Folkestone’s Community Arts Committee
presents a talk by Matt Rowe

Back for a Future

Tuesday 10th July 2007
at 7.30 for 8pm start
with questions and discussions afterwards

Matt Rowe is a young artist who has returned to Folkestone, attracted by The opportunity to be involved in the creative regeneration of the town. Following his experiences of Cardiff and its final phase of regeneration this was a chance not to be missed.

Matt aims are to cultivate an engaging cultural scene, by accommodating and curating exhibitions with a strong local reference, attracting a broad demographic to contemporary art.

Matt will talk about his aims and developments so far, focusing on the development of Tontine Street, how Contemporary art can be used as a tool to understand the heritage of our town.

Matt is the founder of Club Shepway – non profit club society that promotes music / art / writing and is encompassing dialog. He also runs the B&B Project space.

The talk will also include images from Matt’s ongoing photographic archive, images that capture the demise of the traditional seaside resort.
