Trail is to toast diverse artists

The Emsworth Arts Trail is back for 2022, returning to its traditional spring dates of April/May.

Trail chairman Carol Price said: “With 85 artists taking part in venues across the town, it promises to be a real celebration of Emsworth’s vibrant and diverse art scene.

“The trail began in 2001, withjusttenartistsexhibiting in their home studios. Since then it has grown to include an exciting range of local artists, drawing art-loving visitors from far and wide. Last year saw 60,000 visits recorded to venues over the two weekends.

“The Emsworth Arts Trail has become a key event in our town’s calendar. We really are a strong community of artists, with new exhibitors always welcome. There are ten new artists joining us this year. There is always something to excite and delight; the Emsworth Arts Trail has certainly put the town on the map as a destination for art.”
