Via Francigena Arts Trail
Dover Arts Development was awarded the contract to deliver the project management of three new public art commissions for the Via Francigena section of the North Downs Way National Trail, between Canterbury Cathedral and Dover Seafront. The contract was awarded by open tender issued by Kent County Council (KCC).
The Via Francigena is the ancient Pilgrimage Route between Canterbury and Rome and is classified as a Cultural Route (similar to the Camino de Santiago) by the Council of Europe.
Ambitious in quality and speaking to pilgrimage & local heritage with contemporary relevance, the artworks were asked to provide an opportunity for rest and contemplation as well as highlight the natural landscape and inspiring views. Two of the installations are to be located within the Canterbury District and one within Dover District.
The Project is funded by the Interreg Europe Green Pilgrimage Project. The Via Francigena Arts Trail will form part of a longer Arts Trail created by The EXPERIENCE Project, being delivered by the Kent Downs AONB Unit.
