I attended a committee meeting last week to become part of the Southbank Arts Trail 2015. I'm rather excited as since little Freya came along I haven't taken part in any arts trails and do miss the excitement. I can't wait! (This also means that my studio room will need to be finished in time ;) Another deadline Dan!!!)
This volunteer run organisation enables artists and creatives from Southville, Bedminster and Ashton, (plus visitors from further afield) to exhibit and share their work in homes and public spaces over one spectacular weekend in May each year. Visitors have the chance to meet artists and makers in a relaxed environment and also enjoy diverse and fun workshops. ‘One of the oldest, biggest and best Art Trails that have sprung up around town’ - Bristol Post 2014. Now in its 13th year, this popular week-end has attracted an impressive 4000-5000 visitors in recent years, with one house alone recording 600 visitors on its first day.
The arts trails is looking to attract new artists, performers, musicians this year to help grow and attract more visitors. If you know anyone that would like to get involved please follow the links on the SBA website to find out how to become a member, register you home, business or workshop.
