Things are getting very busy now as our next project at Croft Castle in Herefordshire - Time Will Tell - has begun to take form after months of planning
Time Will Tell will be a new way of working for Meadow Arts as it will consist of a rolling programme of contemporary art in 2012 and into 2013. There are going to be a lot of art events and performances beginning this summer and it will lead up to an exhibition next spring.
We have already started working with Folkestone based artist-collective Strange Cargo at Croft. They came and stayed near Croft for several days and spent their time interviewing local people about their experiences and memories of Croft and its surroundings.
They also went to the local pub, The Boot in Orleton, to talk to the locals and were lucky enough to be there for the St George's Day celebrations, including some fine Morris Dancing!

Strange Cargo used the village of Yarpole's very interesting shop and cafe in a church for their venue when they went to collect stories from local people. We were also lucky enough to have an interviewer come over from BBC Hereford and Worcester, to put the event on the radio.
Postcards were left around the village and surroundings of Croft to collect more stories and memories too.
We are really looking forward to seeing how Strange Cargo's work is going to develop, now that they have collected so many Croft stories.
