A visual arts festival is set to return for a third consecutive year.

FORM will take place in Falmouth from Friday, September 20, to Sunday, September 22, featuring a range of exhibitions, workshops, and art-related events.

The work of painters, ceramicists, printmakers, jewellers, woodworkers, and sculptors will be on show, in a celebration of the county's contemporary arts and crafts heritage.

The event, which returns this year to the Princess Pavilion venue, was attended by more than 5000 visitors in 2023.

Its music programme will be curated by radio station Source FM, with broadcasting taking place live on site.

Street food vendors will serve up food and drink across the three days.

And the Young Creatives Art Trail will also be making a return to shop windows, showcasing the work of 200 Falmouth Year 5 and 6 age children who have participated in school art workshops run by regional artists.

The not-for-profit FORM is led by two creatives: Vicki Glaister of Inspire Makers, which presents the work of more than 60 Cornish contemporary design-led artists and craftspeople; and Ann Morgan of Morgans, an art and design gallery.

Ms Glaister and Ms Morgan said: "This county of Cornwall has long been a source of inspiration, refuge, and community, both shaped by and simultaneously shaping the creatives who call it home.

"Artists and makers here are influenced by the rhythms of the landscape that surrounds us, inspired by both the raw dynamism and the gentle ebb and flow.

"We believe the art created in Cornwall is unparalleled and deserves to be celebrated by both familiar and new faces."

Richard Wilcox, executive director of Falmouth BID, said: "With Falmouth University and countless creative businesses continually setting up across our vibrant community, FORM Falmouth is a brilliant example of grass roots ideation that has transformed with the support and nurturing of the Falmouth BID and the surrounding creative colleagues and community."

FORM is supported by Falmouth BID and is part of the festival collective, Falmouth Creates, that was set up during the COVID-19 pandemic.
