Over 30 Bridgnorth residents and businesses will be opening their doors with more than 40 artists in residence for this year’s Bridgnorth Open House Arts Trail over the weekend of 8 June. Artworks on display will include oil and watercolour paintings, drawings, photography, glass work, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, jewellery, metalwork and more.
Artist and Stoneway Gallery proprietor Paul Hopkins, who specialises in original watercolours says, “It’s an excellent way for local artists to show their diverse range of work,” while returning multimedia artist Maggie Humphry adds, “I really enjoyed last year’s first Trail. To meet with such interested and friendly members of the public and discuss my work was wonderful.”
Trail committee member Vicky Commander adds, “The feedback we had from last year’s inaugural trail was excellent. We’re delighted this year’s event will be offering even more with 17 new artists and are looking forward to raising funds for this year’s chosen charity, the Oak Farm adult learning facility in Ditton Priors.”
Tickets and maps, priced £5 for the two-day event, will be available from Tanners Wine Merchants and Mary’s Closet in Bridgnorth High Street and the Library in Listley Street from Monday 13 May and they will also be on sale in Bridgnorth High Street.
