Ever spent a day ambling around fields listening to poetry, watching a play, some afternoon jazz, after dinner comedy, maybe a literary debate, early evening folk, rock, indie and much more? Or maybe you'd prefer to join the Artists' colony painting the festival and the surrounding mountains as they roll by, sculpt a clay figure, watch some street performance, dance, or simply sit on a grassy hill in good company absorbing the soulful vibe?

If so, on August 20, 2011, Stendhal Festival of Art is the place for you.

Set in the picturesque surrounds of Ballymully Cottage Farm on the outskirts of Limavady, Stendhal Festival of Art (subject to licence) will bring a brand new artistic experience to the Roe Valley, home of Danny Boy. .

In keeping with our innate ethos Stendhal festival model is assured to make everyone involved in this first year a stakeholder in 3 years time. We (friends/ family/ local traders/ artists) are launching Stendhal Festival of Art as a not for profit vehicle until we reach a feasible point whereby we can restructure to a co-operative model. The Stendhal Co-op shall benefit all founders to include;  5 charities (MS Society, Parkinson’s, Foyle Hospice and two others), fund innovative regional arts programmes with colleges/ community groups/ Limavady Civic Centre and other artistic outlets annually and YOU.

Anyone attending the festival twice in the first three years (up to a limited amount) shall become a member of the co-operative and avail annually (for life) thereafter of a free ticket to Stendhal, affirming our commitment to all whom support the project from day one.
