'What Do You Think Of The Show So Far?', winner of Frontpage/Backpage/Centrefold award, a publication of artists in Devon & Cornwall for the British Art Show 2023.

Back & Fill is a national campaign created by artist Dan Thompson and designer Kate Kneale, set up as a response to the economic damage done to seaside towns by the coronavirus crisis. It set out to lure people back to the seaside over the 2020 October half term. We painted a penny and set up a treasure hunt. There's a nice article about the project in The Guardian here.

The wording is a quote we overheard. Pertinent, we thought, as it was the arrival of package holidays that ended the golden age of the British seaside. Perhaps now, with staycations and Brexit, there is a better future for Westward Ho!

...And was found 45 minutes later. Top hunting!
