Desert Island: Andrew Ward

Friday 24 July 7pm Desert Island Art is our version of Desert Island Discs but with…(you guessed it!) art. Our guests are asked to choose 8 works of art, a luxury item and a book to take with them on a Desert Island. What a way to get to know a person! This month we’re inviting our very own, Andrew Ward. Andrew has lived in Folkestone for five happy years. You are bound to have seen him in kollectiv and probably know he is very keen on music and committed to promoting art and artists whenever he can. But have you any idea where he came from? What was he up to before he made Folkestone his home? And what eight works of art, luxury item and book would he take to a Desert Island? Come and find out on Friday July 24th at 7:00. You may be surprised!
