There are several artists new to the trail this year; and a huge variety of art – from sculpture, painting and printmaking, to textiles, woodwork, jewellery glass and more, with prices to suit all pockets.
Visiting artist studios offers a unique insight and an opportunity to chat about techniques and inspirations in a relaxed setting. With artists collaborating in group exhibitions, in community centres, pop-up galleries and secret gardens, there is creativity to discover in every corner of the town.
Carol Price, Chair of the Emsworth Arts Trail said: “We are delighted to welcome visitors to the trail this year, and with several new artists joining us there will be a great variety of work to see. We are proud to have a close community of artists here in Emsworth – it really is a fantastic destination for art.”
