DISCOVER ART
on your doorstep

Over 120 artists and makers open their studios to the public, offering the opportunity to explore a series of trails radiating from the city to the Witterings, Bognor, Selsey, Slindon, Charlton, East Marden and Emsworth .
You have the opportunity to see artists displaying and creating their work.
There will be painters, printmakers, potters, weavers, photographers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists, stained-glass workers and more showing their work, and available to answer any questions you may have about their techniques, inspiration and processes.
This is always a hugely enjoyable event for both artists and visitors.
Trail Guides will be available in April at Council offices, Tourist Information Offices and from Coln Gallery and The Oxmarket Gallery. Guides will also be available at each venue during the event.

Entry is absolutely

Saturday & Sunday 8th/9th & 15th/16th May 10am-5pm

Study the maps and discover the artists on your doorstep, plan an exciting journey through some of West Sussex's most beautiful countryside and villages with the undulating backdrop of the South Downs, only broken by the spire of Chichester Cathedral.

The Trail is numbered and links adjacent venues but it is not meant to be followed in any particular order. You are free to choose when and where you would like to visit. Choose a particular style of art or craft and make up your own programme. Make a day out of it. Many of the artists are offering beverages, some have picnic spots and we have a list of 'eateries' on the Trail, recommended by our artists.

The winners of the visitors competition were:
£100 of art materials Diane Plowright of Chichester
£50 of art materials Jeanette Sutton of Midhurst
