Whitstable Art

Welcome to our News and Blogs section

Here you'll be able to find out about news and events taking place in the Whitstable art scene.

So what's a blog?

A blog is an online diary or journal, and their use around the world has grown significantly in recent years. People keep all sorts of blogs, about all sorts of things, and we at Whitstable Art wanted to give anyone interested in or practising art in the Whitstable area, a place to let the local arts community know what they're up to, and how it's all going.

When you create an account with Whitstable Art by pressing the 'join' button at the top right of the page, you're given the option of creating your own blog on this site, (it's all completely free!) which you can add to whenever you want, and which you can use to tell the community about your methods, interests, or forthcoming events.

Whenever you write a blog 'post' (an entry in your blog), you can mark it on the 'events calendar' page if there's a date you want people to know about. This is done by simply clicking the red calendar icon which you'll see when you're writing the post.

We hope you enjoy this feature of the site, and find it a useful and enjoyable way to talk about your work,
