2020 Folkestone Triennial "The Plot": Postponed
As the impact of Covid-19 continues to reverberate throughout our community and across the world, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Creative Folkestone Triennial.

We therefore feel it would be irresponsible for us to continue as planned with Folkestone Triennial in September.
