Opportunity For Local Artists In St Annes

St Annes based musician Guy Pople is launching a local arts project in the town and is offering all local artists the opportunity to have their work displayed in public.

Guy explains: " The purpose of Back West Art Trail is to transform the bare brick walls of Back West Crescent in St Annes with local original art. Local artists are invited to introduce themselves and upload a samples of their art for inclusion in a database which will be presented to St Annes businesses, with a view to securing sponsorship for the costs of producing and hanging weatherproof panels.

"Businesses will be able to choose the piece they deem suitable. All art will reveal details of the Artist and Sponsor, which will hopefully drive interest and even sales for both. ZPQ Printers on Back West have agreed to produce the art onto Foamex boards in batches of 6 at a time. A number of businesses have shown interest in sponsoring so we can make a start but I need a database of local art to present businesses so that they can choose with confidence.

"Any artists interested should  join this open group https://www.facebook.com/groups/470412869712982/ where they can present a sample and then drop off a high-quality scan or photo into my studio on Back West Crescent. "
