The 2008 Arundel Gallery Trail takes place from August 23 - 31 alongside the other great happenings during the Arundel Festival.
Every year the trail draws around 10000 visitors, with around 100 artists exhibiting in 50 venues. The Arundel Gallery Trail is a unique showcase for all styles of art and media, encompassing paintings, print, sculpture, textiles, decoupage, stained glass, ceramics and jewellery.
"A great day out for art collectors and enthusiasts"
During the nine day period, visit-ors will be able to walk from venue to venue and can expect to meet the artists whilst discovering many beautiful historic homes and gardens not normally open to the public. Entry is FREE and it's a great day out for art collectors and enthusiasts alike.
We would like to give a big THANK YOU to our Sponsors for their generous support in helping to bring a wonderful art event to the community.
We look forward to seeing you there...
The Arundel Gallery Trail is one of the longest running open house art festivals in the UK and this year celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Each year during the Arundel Festival local artists and makers exhibit their work in some of the most beautiful homes in Sussex.
The event is an essential part of the South's art calendar, drawing together a wide range of established artists including Bill Philip, Giles Penny, Derek & Joss Davis, Andy Waite and Mike Savage, as well as showcasing much unknown local talent.
This year we give special recognition to its founders Derek Davis, Ann Sutton, Renee Bodimeade and Oliver Hawkins who have inspired so much creative energy in Arundel as well as the many collectors who visit the trail each year.
Arundel is positively
full of creative talent.
Fast becoming the
St Ives of the South,
with its many galleries
set against the back
drop of the beautiful
11th century castle.
Whether your passion
is for art, music or
theatre, the Arundel
Festival is the perfect
time to pay this historic
town a visit. The festival
is a special time for
residents to. Whatever
your hidden talents be,
the Arundel Festival
invites YOU TO JOIN IN.
