HAVING established itself as the largest visual arts event in Wiltshire, the Wylye Valley Art Trail is looking for more creatives to join its ranks in 2017 and celebrate the broad range of visual arts and crafts being practised within and around the Wylye Valley.

The next Wylye Valley Art Trail will be held for nine days from May 27-June 4 2017.

Organisers are looking for artists and craftspeople who would be interested in participating, or anyone who would like to be involved in any capacity, and also for possible exhibition venues. The art trail is open to any artist who lives, works or has a strong interest or links to this area.

“It’s lovely to see such an amazing array of artistic talent in this area. I look forward to the next Art Trail in 2017…..”, said one Westbury visitor after the 2015 event.

The Wylye Valley Art Trail covers Warminster, Westbury, Wylye, Maiden Bradley, Mere, Hindon, Tisbury and the villages between. It consists of open studios and workplaces, group exhibitions by art groups, schools and colleges and other events including hands on activities, demonstrations, workshops and talks. It is an opportunity to see the high standard of visual arts currently being carried out in the area, across a wide range of skills, from painting to print-making, furniture making to photography and sculpture to ceramics. It offers the chance to meet the artists and, in a lot of cases, see where and how they work.
