Lane House Arts is proud to be involved in this year's event when we hand over the gallery to Fringe Arts Bath 2016.
Discover the work of the late Adrian Frutiger, a prolific and talented typographer from Switzerland. His career saw hundreds of fonts created and helped to pioneer new methods of typesetting. His work permeates aspects of our everyday life. From London Street Signs to Swiss motorways and something you may hold in your hand everyday.
We have work ranging through Video, Textiles, Painting and Graphic Design. Gauging the responses to Frutiger’s work from a number of different perspectives and disciplines.
FRINGE ARTS BATH (FaB) is Bath's only visual arts festival, actively promoting and celebrating contemporary art in the Bath area and beyond, showcasing early career artists and curators, and those who find it difficult to break into (or prefer to operate outside of) the gallery based art scene. It is a non profit making artist-led organisation, run entirely by volunteers. FaB aims to raise the profile of contemporary visual arts in Bath, provide opportunities for early-career and emerging artists, and put art in unusual places in unexpected ways for people to happen across and interact with.
The FaB team organise a two-week festival of contemporary visual art exhibitions, events and workshops during Bath Fringe Festival in May/June each year. Free for all to attend, occupying empty shops, unusual spaces and making appearances around the streets of Bath. FaB started as (and still is) Bath’s only annual visual arts festival, growing out of the Bath Fringe Festival’s visual arts strand to become its own organisation 8 years ago.
