Lift the Lid artist, Ian Whitmore will be exploring places, people and objects that inspire us all, whether you are a Caulkhead, an Overner, a Grockel or a DFL (Down from London), stating “This is IW Culture” and asking “Is this IW Culture?” through interactive mapping, drawing and writing.

Storyteller, Sue Bailey from ‘But that’s another story’, will be working with children to sculpt clay models of the Ventnor Giant and encouraging stories to be created.

We’ll be showing an exclusive film by Sassy Productions IoW, featuring children from Oakfield Primary School and young people from the Isle of Wight College discussing what inspires them to be creative on the Isle of Wight.
