2 Weeks Today!

Artist Led, Community Focused, Culturally Evolving …

Who has been eagerly awaiting a sneak at what this year's event has in store???  Me, for one!

The brochures for this year's Hadleigh Art Trail are starting to touch down on people doorsteps, and are now proudly waiting to be browsed in venues locally - make sure you pick up a copy and plan your trail experience.  This year, there is an additional pick of cinematic film screenings as well as events to enable you to enjoy the trail over more than just one afternoon visit.  Oh, and many activities are FREE!

If you are exhibiting, or live locally, why not help us spread the work and distribute some brochures?

If you are able to lend a hand please e-mail us at info@hadleigharttrail.org.uk

See you in 2 weeks!

Artistic Traces in Hadleigh – wine and private views – the lot!

What a contemplative and cutting-edge way to launch an autumn of culture here in Hadleigh!

‘Traces’ is the result of cross-county collaborations between art studios, but with a fair few artists exhibiting living by the Thames Estuary.  It deals with places, spaces and identities – something both the Hadleigh Art Trail, and each artist exhibiting can relate to.   Hadleigh Art Trail Artists Sue Willis and Alan Hockett (both resident artists at HOFS) are exhibiting experimental pieces that depict a new layer to their practice, and I am now intrigued as to what their new trail exhibition will entail!

This exhibition has been described by curator Jane Morrow as an example of ‘strength derived un numbers’ – Certainly, the colonisation of artists to Hadleigh Old Fire Station has in itself proved that cultural developments germinate and grow using just that.

I, myself, can’t wait to support the Hadleigh Art Trail, and congratulate the Essex Network of Artist Studios for bringing such diverse and informative works to Hadleigh, just at the right time!

Pop along, if you can – the exhibition is on until Sunday!
