SEE THE PROMENADE WEEKENDER SCHEDULE
Promenade is a weekend programme of local art commissions, activities, and events exploring place, environment & the natural world through multidisciplinary contemporary arts and socially engaged practice.
Rooted in Weston’s unique coastal landscape, Promenade welcomes location-specific artworks, workshops & activities, music & performance, walks & talks, happenings & interventions taking place along Weston’s promenade.
Four new micro-commissions featured newly developed work from South West early-career artists: Chloe Walker, Simon Hamlyn, Caitlin Dawkes and Simone Marconi. The commissioned artists presented new artworks that explore Weston’s coastline across a range of disciplines including movement, sculpture, natural materials, textiles, sound, and animation.
The wider programme also included a 16mm film commission in response to Birnbeck Pier by artist Laura Phillips, poetry commissioned for Promenade and Sea Like a Mirror by Beth Calverley with community-led activities including a showcase from Weston Loxton Art College students, performances by Super Culture Youth Theatre, screenings of One Minute Experimental Sea Films captured by Weston’s communities and much more.
In 2025, Promenade complimented Sea Like a Mirror, a major touring programme commissioned by Cement Fields to mark the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)
