Artists

Artists are an essential element of the Midwinter Carnival both in the construction of lanterns and costumes, and as performers. Together they create a stunning visual spectacle and a wonderful atmosphere.

The vehicle for their work is the Carnival Procession. Creating processional art is a special skill and we are lucky to work with some highly talented artists and performers.
