Promenade Folkestone CT20 2JP United Kingdom
5.0

Folkestone Artworks: Spencer Finch, The Colour of Water is most popular around 6 PM on Sundays. It's most quiet on Tuesdays.

Like a French Impressionist painter on a day visit from Boulogne, American artist Spencer Finch observed the ever-changing tone and colour of the Channel during his visits to Folkestone over several weeks throughout 2010. His observations led him to produce a palette of 100 variants of the colour of the sea, which was used to dye 100 flags.

Folkestone Artworks: Richard Wilson, 18 Holes (Other)
Coastal Promenade Folkestone CT20 2DZ United Kingdom
4.5

Folkestone Artworks: Richard Wilson, 18 Holes is most popular around 9 AM on Saturdays. It's most quiet on Thursdays.

Folkestone's former Rotunda Amusement Park, typical of seaside towns from Blackpool to Coney Island, was not only the inspiration for Richard Wilson's 18 Holes but also provided the materials. The dysfunctional and long overgrown crazy golf course was the only remnant of the otherwise erased park. Wilson's herculean project of cutting, lifting, restoring and reassembling the eighteen weighty concrete slabs is a tribute to the memory of this former popular tourist attraction.

Folkestone Artworks: Strange Cargo, The Luckiest Place on Earth (Other)
Broadmead Rd Folkestone CT19 5HB United Kingdom

It's most quiet on Mondays.

The Luckiest Place on Earth is installed beneath the railway bridge over the main road at Folkestone Central Station. It has the effect of transforming the bridge into a Lucky Gateway to the town through artistic sleight of hand. Below, at pedestrian street level, the Recycling Point for Luck and Wishes is embedded in the bridge structure alongside the street crossing. Strange Cargo invites us to affirm our own perception and relationship to luck, and how our attitudes might affect our future.
