Visual Arts is an important part of the JAM on the Marsh festival. This year we are thrilled to host five outstanding, free exhibitions on display daily at JAM on the Marsh, featuring a variety of genres: from paintings to prints, cyanotypes to pen and ink drawings. The artworks are exhibited in the festival venues, giving the audience the opportunity to explore the art ahead of or after attending an event.
Whilst each exhibition is unique in its own right, they share a common theme: our environment. Inspired by the beauty of nature and man-made structures, the stunning artworks convey a deep sense of awareness and appreciation for our surroundings.

The 11th JAM on the Marsh embraces the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ with many concerts and events featuring essential classics but equally promoting new compositions and productions.
The festival invites the audience to enjoy much-loved masterpieces by Bach, Britten, Fauré, Holst, Mahler, Mozart and more; whilst at the same time encouraging festivalgoers to discover 13 contemporary works of music by renowned and up-and-coming composers of our time: Toby Anderson, Cameron Biles-Liddell, Sam Buttler, Bob Chilcott, Marisse Cato, Roseanna Dunn, John Frederick Hudson, Gabriel Jackson, Jack Oades, Arvo Pärt, Steve Richer, Jago Thornton and Janet Wheeler.
