Od Arts Festival 2018 - The Art of Rivalry

The inaugural Od Arts Festival happened over the weekend of 11-13 May 2018 across East and West Coker in South Somerset. The festival took its name from the Od: the crooked stream that meanders through the two neighbouring villages.

In 2018, Od Arts Festival took the theme of rivalry: commissioning and presenting a programme of public artworks, performances, painting, sculpture and video works that explored artistic, romantic and neighbourly frictions. The project was led by OSR Projects and devised in collaboration with a range of local partners.

Curator – Simon Lee Dicker

Co- curator – Bob Gelsthorpe
