Burnham Art Trail 2009
The trail not only exhibits the work of painters and sculptors but also showcases carefully crafted works from artist/makers who use an eclectic mix of materials including textiles, leather, pottery, wood, glass and silver. Now firmly established in the Essex art lover’s calendar, the trail offers the opportunity for visitors to explore our town whilst enjoying the talent it holds. During the summer months Burnham gently buzzes with activity throughout the town, quayside and along the riverside walk making it an ideal destination for a pleasant day out. Artwork is on show at venues throughout the town and include those in private gardens and at artists own studios, with all venues being within easy walking distance.You can pick up a copy of the 2009 Art Trail Guide at the Library, Tourist Information Centre or Burnham Museum. We welcome you to join us in enjoying and supporting this platform for creativity. On each day of the trail there will be artists manning the Burnham Museum, so If you would like to meet them and chat about the work they are showing or want to know how to take part in a future art trail, they will be happy to be of help. Click here to see the Museum Rota In addition to the work of our regular contributors, 11 new artists will be exhibiting their work and a collaborative textile installation, made with the help of St. Peter’s students, will be adding extra dimension to the trail. There is also a Children's Quiz available at the Burnham Museum and One Place for the younger art lovers with a prize for the winning entry, so do please pick one up. The Essence of Summer - Audio Art is a joint project with St FM and linking with Riverfest, we are providing a platform for poets and writers. You can hear their work and cast your vote at Burnham Museum or One Place - Tourist Information Centre. To enter our lyrics and poetry competition please go to our Events page....
