    Story

    Phyllis McDowell meant so much to so many people in Folkestone, particularly amongst the creative community.
    In memory of her contribution to the town we would like to commission an enamel plaque of one of her paintings and arrange for it to be permanently installed along the Old High Street.
    This is where, as a founder member of the Folkestone Arts Collective, she participated in Open Air Gallery sessions where local artists gathered with easels and musical instruments and created art.
    Any contributions from people who would like to remember Phyllis in this way will be very gratefully received.
    You can watch progress updates via this page or via the FAC website: www.folkestoneartists.org.uk

      Thank you so much for all of your generous donations! We are a third of the way there. A little more of the back story to this project: John Sims, a former Chair and friend of FAC came up with the idea of this memorial. John approached me and the FAC to see if we'd like to be involved. However, Phyllis's influence reached far beyond any individual group, which is why this tribute is not from John or me or FAC alone, but everybody who knew her and anybody who would like to walk past a permanently installed artwork of hers and remember her.
