"We all know Falmouth's a world class sailing destination, but less well known is the town's unique art heritage. I am a big advocate of taking art beyond gallery walls into unusual situations as it engages people who may not have connected to the visual arts before and this is a perfect project to highlight Falmouth's art history, engage people and brighten up the shopping streets at the same time ! I would love to see wall to wall art in Falmouth, it would give us a visual and cultural advantage." John Dyer.
