Bonsall Art Trail is a new arts trail located in the village of Bonsall of the edge of the peak district. As a curated trail we aim to showcase the work of talented established and new artists and makers who want to exhibit and sell their work. Subscription covers entry to the exhibition and membership of Bonsall Arts Trail association.

The Trail, over the weekend of June 18th and 19th 2022, will showcase the work of a wide range of artists and makers from Derbyshire and surrounding counties. We have a policy of inclusivity and welcome applications from community groups, particularly those who are typically under-represented in the arts or within society. We also welcome applications from emerging artists, regardless of age, and offer a supportive experience for first or second time exhibitors.

The Trail is a curated series of exhibitions by individual artists, makers, and groups. This includes painting and drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, glass, jewellery or other media. Successful applicants will demonstrate a high level of mastery of their chosen medium or media, and must be able to include original pieces available for purchase over the weekend. We also ask that artists or makers submit their most recent work.

The fee for application is £10 and we require a short description of your work or yourself as an artist (around 100 words) and 3 representative jpeg images. Unsuccessful applicants will be refunded minus a small processing charge, with supportive and constructive feedback provided if requested. Successful applicants will be asked to pay a subscription to Bonsall Arts Trail Association of £40 which includes exhibition at the Trail and the opportunity to promote their work and other activities via our website www.bonsallartstrail.org throughout 2022.
