Teynham-based artist Sioux Peto of Polka Dot Arts, whose work 'A Garden of England' features in re:bourne on 13-14 August, offers this perspective on her re:bourne experience thus far:

"Working within a festival concept has opened up more opportunities for local artists than we would normally be given and has also allowed us to work amongst other artists in the comfort of our hometown. We are using this experience to evaluate what the general public thinks of our work, and about the arts in general, something we would not have otherwise been able to achieve."
