Plain Arts Programme For 2020

Dear Art Trailers & Plain Arts Members

As you are aware, in these unprecedented times, we had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Art Trail planned for June this year.

We have been assessing the question of rescheduling the Art Trail for next year or 2022 and there were many complex logistical factors to consider,
however we have come to the decision that the best course of action would be to postpone the next Art Trail until 2022 .
The precise dates for this will be circulated in due course although at the moment we have been considering September 2022 as the possible target.
We are of course open to your thoughts and views on this and would welcome any comments

We have now completed the refunds for all members who applied for the Art Trail and many thanks for your patience in this matter.
Also a big thanks to Committee member Karen Welsh who has worked so hard to complete the refunds in a reasonable time.

Rolling programme of exhibiting opportunities at the Salisbury Medical Centre throught the year

We have now been organising a rolling programme of exhibitions since the centre opened on the Wilton Road 6 years ago.
The Practice has conducted a number of surveys and they have found how valued and appreciated this project is to both the staff and patients.
It's free to exhibit and the wall spaces are excellent for showing your work to a very large audience.

The current exhibition was due to run through to the end of May, this time sharing it with the Salisbury Group of Artists a joint exhibition
showing an exciting new approach combining artwork from the 2 leading local arts organisations in the community
thus presenting a strong voice for local arts.
Given the current circumstances and uncertainties the current exhibition will remain in the Centre until further notice.

Venue options for holding Workshops
We have been working lately to try to identify potential venues for you to hold workshops,
its an ongoing project but I have listed below a number of venues that we have visited who have
expressed an interest in linking with Plain Arts members for them to provide the space
and facilities for you to hold workshops on their premises.
