Festival of Naive Art

The 4th Festival of Naive Art at Verneuil in Normandy, France, will run from 22 March to 27 April. The UK is the invited country this year and 15 members of the Association of British Naive Artists (CLICK) are expected to attend, together with 100 artists from over 25 countries. They will exhibit 800 works of art: painting, sculpture, ceramics, tapestry and this year's novelty, painting on pebbles. Verneuil intends to become "one of the capitals of Naive Art in the world". It must be worth a visit if you're touring the battlefields of the Hundred Years War, our revenge for the Norman invasion.
