The Art in Romney Marsh festival which is taking art and music to five Medieval venues, begins today (17 September).

St George's church in Ivychurch is one of five venues chosen for Art in Romney Marsh 2011
Festival: which runs until October 9 2011.

Five Medieval churches host films, soundscapes, shifting imagery, text-based installations, music and performance, ranging from drawings posted on Google Maps and added to the fabric of St Peter and St Paul, in Newchurch, to a floral flourish at All Saints in Burmarsh, where 800 years of lovingly arranged flowers are celebrated with elaborate vases, quirky paintings and a frock coat shaped from laundry and dust lint.

Where the ongoing delights of the nearby Folkestone Triennial take a global view, Art in Romney Marsh is keeping things local.
