Only a few weeks left until the launch of Vale Arts Trail! Vena (Vale of Evesham Network of Artists) with the support of Wychavon District Council are organising Vale Arts Trail, which is a month long visual arts festival in and around Pershore, Evesham and Broadway from 3rd-31st October 09. It is the first of its kind in the area, to purely focus on the visual arts and crafts. The Vale Arts Trail will be showing exhibitions in galleries, open studios, libraries, gardens, parks, shops, cafes, churches and community centres around the vale. They are from a range of local artists and arts groups, both amateur and professional in painting, photography, crafts and sculpture. The work will also be for sale.
There will also be a fantastic community programme along side it for children, young people, adults and older people. Workshops include sessions on John Sargeant, Halloween themed crafts, how to get the best out of your digitial camera, make your own portraits and using collage to create stories. Also, there will be a talk from Ian Gibson in connection with his exhibition at Number 8. There will also be two free ‘Walk and Talks’, a guided tour of Evesham and Pershore’s exhibitions. Two free ‘Big Draw’ events will also be a feature, which is the national initiative to get people drawing. One of these will be at the launch event on Sat 3rd October to start the month off at Pershore High School and the other to close the trail on 31st October at Evesham Town Hall. And for a sneak preview of the exhibitions, Pershore Library are holding a sample of most of the exhibitions for the whole month. There is a free public preview on Friday 2nd October at Pershore Library from 6-7.30pm so do drop in for a drink and some nibbles and meet the artists! (A full workshop programme is attached)
This has been made possible with funding from Wychavon District Council, Worcestershire County Council, Pershore Market Town Partnerships and Evesham Market Town Partnerships.
A full programme is available in various locations around, including Tourist Information Centres, Libraries and Wychavon’s contact centres. If you would like to be sent one please contact Jenny Davis or check out the website http://www.wychavon.gov.uk/ (see the arts section).
