Hide AdJoanna Allen, Art Trail co-ordinator, is delighted to welcome this exciting event back to New Mills Festival, and encourages artists at all stages of their career and working in any medium to apply. ‘The curated Trail will take you on a journey through New Mills showcasing a wide range of high-quality art. Each year is different, and we are excited to see what this year will bring.’
Recently voted fourth best place in the country to live, New Mills town is turned into a ‘gallery’ during the Art Trail. The event attracts mixture of artists and makers, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, 3D and textiles. More than 70 local businesses are taking part, displaying artists’ work in the windows of a wide range of different venues.
Alongside applications from artists for the shop window displays, the organisers are particularly interested in hearing from artists who would like to tackle one of the larger spaces in the town, either for an installation or a group display.
