The second Wilmslow Art Trail 2015 will be taking place from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th June.
Organised by the Wilmslow Business Group, this year the event has grown to include 40 local artists including painters, silversmiths, furniture makers, jewellers, ceramicists, bookbinders and embroiderers.
Their work will be exhibited at 22 locations across the town - pubs, supermarkets, churches and retailers have all offered their premises as temporary exhibition spaces for this array of work to be displayed.
Each of the venues is located in Wilmslow's town centre allowing visitors to walk, or even cycle, their way round the trail, following the specially produced Art Trail Map. Many locations will be offering refreshments as visitors make their way around the trail so you can plan your route accordingly.
New for 2015 are Art Trail Workshops to encourage everyone to have the opportunity to discover their inner artist. Willow weaving, book folding and a large collaborative piece of art being created in the centre of Wilmslow will all be on offer. Details of workshops as well as a full list of participating artists and locations will be available in early May on wilmslow.co.uk and via the Art Trail programme which will be available at participating venues.
Garry Olson, furniture maker, who originally had the idea for the Wilmslow Art Trail said, "After the success of last year's first ever Art Trail, I'm delighted that it's back again – and even bigger. I hope that everyone can come to see and enjoy the wealth of creative talent that will be on display."
Catherine Mackenzie, Chairman of the Wilmslow Business Group said, "Last year's Art Trail was a great event – so many people came into the town to enjoy the fantastic artworks on display. We're thrilled that so many new artists are taking part this year as well as many of those who took part in 2014. We're looking forward to a busy and enjoyable weekend."
