| Wivenhoe has long had a reputation for being home to
talented artists. Some are creative purely for their own pleasure. Others
do it for a living. And if we consider Art in its wider sense, then Wivenhoe really is blessed with a lot of talent. This page therefore
highlights not just the artists we think of in the traditional sense but
in the wider sense to include people who sing and play musical
instruments.
This Section is for anybody living in Wivenhoe to share or promote
their 'arts' talent. Click on the hot-links below to go to their page in the
Wivenhoe Encyclopedia.
If you haven't got an entry and would like one, or want details of an exhibition
you are displaying at shown on the Wivenhoe web site, please contact Peter Hill (tel: 01206 823073) or by e-mail . Also see poster - click

support and a social group for people with a common interests.
