Fife coastline to feature in Beach of Dreams festival

Featuring locations across the country, including the fishing villages of Fife, this festival will transform coastlines into vibrant canvases.

Taking place from May 1 to June 1 next year, Beach of Dreams will unveil new artist commissions from creators.

This Kinetika project aims to celebrate the beauty and diversity of coastlines while fostering a connection between art, community, and the natural environment.

Artist Julie Brook will create a tidal sculpture from locally sourced materials, inspired by walk along the Fife coastline and talks with residents and artists.

In May 2025, the Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, with project partners, will organise a 12-day journey along the Fife Coastal Path. This will feature a programme of walking and creative events.

“Beach of Dreams is about exchanging ideas, making space for dialogue, collaboration and community.

“We invite you to engage with these commissions, walk together, share stories, imagine possible futures and work collectively towards positive change.”
