Art in Action at Waterperry

For 4 days each July artists and craftsmen set up their studios in marquees so that visitors can watch them at work.

[1][2] Art in Action ended after 40 years in 2016 due to key staff members retiring and difficulties in finding replacements for them.

[5] Art in Action was organised by the School of Economic Science, a registered charity which owns Waterperry House.

[6] Art in Action provided a creative environment in which artists and craft workers could demonstrate their skills and engage with the public.

[7] Each marquee hosted artists of a similar discipline such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, calligraphy, illustration, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, jewellery, ceramics and glass.
