ORGANISERS of a festival want people to get involved.

Hamble Arts Festival 2013, in support of the Hamble Life Boat Fund, runs from August 31 to September 1 and is a programme of exhibitions, events and workshops that came about as a result of the Sea Sky Art Gallery.

It is designed to bring together local artists, craftspeople and community groups.

The festival is looking for local companies or individuals who would like to sponsor an element of the programme or enable arts activities to take place for local community groups and schools.

Organisers are putting out a call for artists and will be welcoming proposals from artists to exhibit and run school and community activities.
