Artist Alice Kettle, who has also participated in the two previous 10 days events, commented.

“This remarkable event is being staged again in Winchester and led by Trish Bould. It reaches beyond the existing boundaries of creative practice and makes links and connections across generations, across artforms and celebrates the excellence of regionalism. It is a credit to all involved that this year will build on the incredible success of the past 4 years to create a bigger and more ambitious event for 2013.”
