The Franklin Festival Art Exhibition

The Gravesham Franklin Festival is a cultural celebration of the town’s rich riverside heritage. Set to take place on the 14th & 15th September 2024, the festival will be a combination of artist-led activity, heritage walks, talks, community engagement, and will reference our links with the final voyage of Sir John Franklin whose expedition left Greenhithe in 1845 in a beleaguered attempt to discover the Northwest Passage.  

As part of the overall festival, we have invited artists to submit work on the theme of Arctic and/or Discovery.

The exhibition show cases the talented and exciting work submitted by artists in celebration of The Franklin Festival.
