Fal River Festival

The Fal River Festival, which will run from May 28th to June 6th 2010, is all about celebrating life on the river Fal in Cornwall.

The 10 day festival encompasses over 130 events which range from music and drama, the arts and heritage to rowing races, triathlons and walks.

The festival, which was established in 2006, is celebration of life on the river, a chance to really embrace the places, people, history and culture that are connected by this very Cornish river.

With its diverse mix of culture, music, arts, food, literature, drama, industry, events, gardens, sports and history the festival offers something for everyone, a chance to engage with life on the river and discover some of its fascinating history.

David Cooper Exhibition

David in his own words...

"I am often asked 'What do you paint?' I am a symbolic artist, often with ecoconnotations. Words can only describe my work in a quantitative manner. "Emotions, values and thoughts must be experienced to be evaluated. All paintings are original art work - my compositions are my ideas and messages for the world.

"The precision, the details and the colours express the depth of my thoughts. I have been able to reflect on mankind and our relation hips with the environment - political issues, foreign affairs, peace and green issues surround us, my ethos is not to be pessimistic but to look at alternatives which can be amusing at times.

"I have had ample opportunities to reflect on people''s attitudes and the information from the media. I have made up my mind, now it is up to you."

David Cooper's exhibition runs from August 16th - 22nd.
