Welcome to the Quartz Festival 2012 website

The Quartz Arts Festival 2013 will be held at Queen’s College, Taunton from Wednesday 25^th September to Saturday 5^th October.   The public are invited to visit our site, and to take a look around the sculpture and art on show.  The café adjacent to the free exhibition is open throughout the festival.   With a unique and exciting art exhibition and a vibrant line-up of evening performances there is much to enjoy at Quartz 2013.

Our goal is to create an artistic event of the highest professional and creative level, giving visitors an enriching and stimulating experience.   The art exhibition, indoors and outdoors, is open to professional artists living in the South West; most of the work will be for sale, much of it highly affordable.

Most days of the festival will see a performance event staged in the evening, with shows catering for every taste, from keyboard star Rick Wakeman to theatrical dance company Lost Dog, with Shakespeare and comedy in between.

Our dynamic but personal festival provides a great opportunity for local artists and national performers to showcase their talents to the people of the South West and we do hope you will join us at Quartz 2013. Please call 01823 340805 or email sr@queenscollege.org.uk if you have any enquiries. You can also follow us on Twitter or find our Facebook page.
