Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival is again delighted to promote “Passion for Art” on 9 and 10 November. This event celebrates passionate Cambridge art-orientated establishments and artists.

Spend a weekend in Cambridge enjoying what’s on offer at both the Garden Festival and the art event.  You can indulge yourself in the free self-guided tour of artists' workplaces and art-orientated businesses. There are 13 studios or establishments that provide an opportunity to explore the vibrant art scene in Cambridge.
 
Here’s a snippet of seven studios/establishments on show (the remaining six will be featured in a later newsletter):
 
Artist Kirsten McIntosh looks for a challenge and finds such opportunities in reflections, in clouds, with flowers, roadside grasses, and a late afternoon sun
