Harwich Festival of the Arts
We’re proud to be supporting the Harwich Festival of the Arts through the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund 2022.
The Harwich Festival of the Arts is back in 2022 with 10 days of Live Music, Theatre, Art and more. There’s something for all ages at this year’s festival.
The free exhibition, ‘Beyond the Sublime’, is now on at the Harwich Arts and Heritage Centre from Wednesday 22 June until Saturday 23 July.
The artists’ investigation into ‘The Sublime’ is expressed through painting, installation and virtual reality in an exciting exhibition.
The money received has directly benefitted local artists, musicians and creatives and helped the Harwich Festival immensely during a difficult period for the arts.
