We are delighted to give you this standalone August issue of WOW magazine! Victoria McBride's striking cover leads you to our main feature about Love Sheppey X, a great one day event where you can find her work and that of many other professional artists. The centre pages are graced by Mark Barnes' wonderful, funny 'Story of WOW'; Hometown's vintage quilts exhibition is given The Artist's Space and oh, there is so, so much more, including the regular listings in Film, Music, Theatre and Visual Art.
