CULTURE CLUB
Green Street has just become home to a unique new art gallery. Founded by artist Carla Nizzola, who has more than a decade’s experience in the art world, Extraordinary Objects is as much a museum as it is a gallery, providing Cambridge residents and visitors with a unique opportunity to examine and enjoy rare objects in the flesh. “I am so pleased to finally open Extraordinary Objects in our eclectic city,” says Carla. “The gallery is an extension of my personal collection. I believe works from different genres have an extraordinary way of complementing and elevating each other, and fossils, antiquities and minerals have always been displayed alongside contemporary artworks in my home. Watching people being blown away when they first see a piece in the collection is the best feeling. So, welcome all – come and ignite your curiosity in the heart of Cambridge!” extraordinaryobjects.co.uk EXTRAORDINARY OBJECTS New in town
Organised by the Cambuskers Community Group, the Buskers and Street Performers Festival brings the very best local variety acts to the streets of Cambridge. After a year’s hiatus due to lockdown, the festival is making a big comeback, showcasing an amazing array of talent. “I’m really excited the festival is back on the streets of the city, and I’m looking forward to the fabulous array of talent Cambridge has to offer,” says festival director, Heather Bevan-Hunt. “We hope the performances bring a smile to people’s faces after a very difficult year.” For the first time, the festival features a children’s corner, with some fabulous storytellers taking part, as well as performances on the city-centre streets. You can catch the festival from 10am on Saturday 17 July until 5pm on Sunday 18 July. cambuskers.org Cambridge Buskers Festival
