Belper Arts Trail - Sunday 5th and Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2024
Wards Shoe Shop, Kings Street Belper

The Belper Arts Trail is an artist led initiative which aims for artists to exhibit and promote their work. It began in 2014 when two artists wanted to help strengthen the local artistic community and to find interesting and creative solutions to the lack of dedicated space in Belper for artists to exhibit. I'm delighted to be hosted in Wards Shoe shop again for the 11th Belper Arts Trail. Artists will be housed in many varied locations throughout the town centre and a full programme of live music will take place with the main stage being in The Memorial Gardens with buskers in other selected venues. The trail opening times are 10:30 to 4:30 on both days. Come along and enjoy all The Arts Trail has to offer. See https://www.belperarts.org for full info.

Museum of Making

I have been selected to take part in this new to me event at Derby's Museum of Making. There will be lots of

lovely makers to browse through including food and drink plus why not take the opportunity to have a look

Derbyshire Open Arts - Saturday 25th to Bank Holiday Monday 27th May 2024
Venue 52 - The Gasworks Sudbury

This is an open studio event when artists around the county take part to showcase their skills. I will be joining a collective of artists in Sudbury at the amazingly restored former Gasworks building in Sudbury. There is free parking, a cafe and several local artists to see and purchase from - some of which will be demonstrating.

Bonsall Arts Trail - Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June 2024
Venue 31 - Cascades Garden Centre Cafe

I'm delighted to have been accepted to exhibit at the second Bonsall Art Trail which is returning on 29th and 30th June 2024 and will open 10am – 5pm both days. Last year we hosted over 90 artists and makers in venues around the historic village of Bonsall. The trail was very well received from both artists and the public with some great feedback. The quality and variety of artists was outstanding and we are aiming to bring the same culture and vibe back to Bonsall.
