Welcome to the 7th Burnham Art Trail 2011
Set in the picturesque Crouch Valley, with its tranquil river views, quaint architecture and wonderful east coast light, the town of Burnham-on-Crouch forms a charming backdrop for the seventh Burnham Art Trail. This week long event provides exhibition spaces in venues spread across the town for participating artists to display their work. Each Art Trail has proved more successful than the last and this year is looking to be no exception. With new artists applying to take part, the range, quality and diversity of artwork continues to grow.
Most artists come from Burnham or have strong links to the area. Many are inspired by its natural beauty, strong sailing traditions and relaxed lifestyle. The work being shown spans a broad spectrum of media including fine art, ceramics, jewellery, sculpture, leatherwork and textiles. Style and content varies from traditional to contemporary with many works for sale and to suit all tastes and pockets. Now firmly fixed in the art lover’s calendar, the trail makes a full day of fun and culture. Exhibits are housed in many interesting venues, both private and public, throughout the town. Local businesses, community organisations and individuals support the trail by providing windows, display areas and gardens that are easily accessible to the public and are all just a pleasant stroll from each other. The trail offers an ideal opportunity to explore Burnham while enjoying the artistic talent that it holds. Visitors will be able to pick up a copy of the 2011 Art Trail Guide at the Burnham Library, Tourist Information Centre, or Burnham Museum. Art Trail Events 2011
