From 12noon on Friday 30 May to 12noon on Saturday 31 May over 35 artists joined in to create a 24 hour vision of our beautiful city with Salisbury Arts Centre and NewRED Studios.
Gini set out to capture the shades of blue in the sky.
David Podger explored the relationship between a contemporary Salisbury and the historic foundations it is built on, overlaying images, drawings, maps, photographs, newsprint and found ephemera.
Vicky Slater embarked on a mission to draw 24 dogs from photographs taken on Salisbury streets within the 24 hour period.

Hoodwink out and aboutSalisbury Library: Saturday 28 June 7.30pm & 8.30pm
Our resident artists are a very busy bunch of creatives. This month we caught up with Hoodwink about their latest project, A Library Odyssey. Artistic Director Stephanie Jalland told us all about it:
Firstly, for anyone who hasn’t seen your work before, could you tell us a little bit about Hoodwink?Hoodwink are company in residence at Salisbury Arts Centre and have been making original and innovative theatre both indoors and out in unusual settings for over 15 years. This is a very different style of show for Hoodwink and allows the audience to explore the details of a library, to watch it, listen to it and consider its role in our lives.
How did A Library Odyssey begin?The project is a Creative Libraries commission and explores the potential for libraries as a venue for performance and arts activities.
We spent time in each of the libraries, interviewing staff and library users and observing and researching just what takes place in a library from day to day.
A Library Odyssey is created from all those thoughts, comments, facts and true stories of library life. What can people expect?A Library Odyssey is an entertaining and thought provoking glimpse into the library and takes the audience on a 45 minute journey through the library after hours. The audience will follow performers around the library. The show zooms in on the life of a library and tells the story of the books, the people and the staff in an engaging way.
A Library Odyssey continues after the shows as Hoodwink and artist Laurence Dube-Rushby have created unique QR bookplates. If you find one at the front of your library book use your smart phone app or take it to a librarian to scan and hear the thoughts of Wiltshire Library users recorded during residencies at the libraries. Folk have quite literally added their voices to those of all the books on the shelves.
Who is it for?Anyone who is aged 13 or over. You don’t have to be a library user or a theatre fan. This is an entertaining show for anyone willing to listen.

Edinburgh Comedy PreviewThursday 19 June 8pm
If you love live comedy with all the heckling and laughter that it brings then don’t miss the next Edinburgh Comedy Preview hurtling this way on Thursday 19 June.
Edinburgh Comedy Previews are your chance to get ahead of the pack and see brand new shows before they play to thousands at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Next in our preview series, we welcome BBC Impractical Joker Paul McCaffrey and comedian and radio presenter Matt Forde.
Paul McCaffrey is a stand-up comedian and comic actor who has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting new acts around, winning both The London Paper and the Latitude Festival new act competitions.
Paul has been seen on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC3), heard on Russell Kane’s Whistle-Stop Tour (BBC Radio 2) and is a regular guest on The Matt Forde Show (talkSPORT). He can currently be seen at some of the top comedy clubs in the country.
Matt Forde loves politics and helps his audiences love politics with a healthy dose of humour. A hit on TV and Radio shows alike, Forde is one of the hot tips for this year’s festival.

We’re getting ready to dance as Shooglenifty drop in to play us a gig on Sunday 22nd June:
The Scottish stars are internationally regarded for their fiery blend of traditional Celtic styles and high energy dance music. Their unique style has its roots in late 80s Edinburgh and is now best described as “hypno-folk ambient trad” (yes, that’s a bit of a mouthful!).
Original band member Garry Finlayson talked about the band’s evolution in an interview with Folk Radio UK.
“There have been many influences over the years but it would be a very tricky job to trace them all. I’d say that as soon as we started playing at festivals worldwide we were exposed to influence by music from many different cultures with the common factor of being played by great musicians. Of course it works both ways, we have influenced them too – and some of our most joyous experiences have come from sharing the stage and the music with others – so I suppose many of our most positive and lasting influences have been a two-way process.”
ShoogleniftySunday 22 June 8pm
International influences are revealed in the band’s instrumental line-up. Mandolin, banjo and bouzouki share a stage with the more familiar fiddle and guitars, all wielded with extreme precision and technical daring.
The current line-up have now been playing together for over ten years and have an unforgettable stage presence, delivering a danceable evening of dangerously catchy music and a brilliant sense of fun – only to be expected from a band whose albums are littered with such quirky song titles as “Would you like an olive, Wes?”.
It’ll be the perfect gig for that summer festival feeling!
Tickets: £14 / £12 concessions (Members: £13 / £11)

If, like us, you’ve always been enchanted by the idea of fairies then we think you’ll love this new show for 3 - 7 year olds from Ripstop Theatre. The company told us more:
We absolutely adored Sally and the Sunflower when it was here back in spring 2013. What can the audience expect from A Real Fairy Story?Fun and some magic, real magic! Also an exciting story that is a quest to find and photograph a real fairy, a journey with some strange encounters and a mystery that all becomes clear in a happy ending.
What are the key themes in A Real Fairy Story?The main theme is a belief in fairies and that magic is possible. Also, how do you find and photograph something that you cannot see? By inventing your own gadgets, trusting in yourself and never underestimating the wisdom of your cat!
A Real Fairy Story Saturday 28 June 11am & 2.30pm
You use a really interesting combination of mediums. How important is it for you to experiment with a variety of media?I love playing with different ways of telling a story, that is why I make theatre. I often use shadow puppetry but I’m always trying different methods. In A Real Fairy Story I use a more traditional, but new to me, method which works really well to show the difference between our world and the world of the fairies. And, for the first time, we are using digital projection. I also like to have actual, 3D if you like, puppets as kids can relate to them and touch, or rather stroke, them in the case of my cat.
What would you like the audience to take away from the performance?I would like them to feel they’ve been entertained, told a really good story and had their beliefs in magic and fairies thoroughly affirmed. I would also like them to feel they’ve had such a good time they want to come and see our next show which is all about Pirates!
