The Severn Vale Art Trail prides itself on being a collaborative and community minded event which strives to create an environment that is welcoming to all. There are 60 artists in nearly 30 venues exhibiting over 5 days! Artists and makers show work in their homes, studios, community venues and churches bringing creativity to every corner of the community. All the artwork exhibited is original and made in the Severn Vale with contemporary and traditional art showcased side by side in a diverse range of mediums.
Many venues are serving refreshments making for the perfect refreshment pit stop when needed! Spend just an hour, an afternoon, a day or even several days exploring the Severn Vale Art Trail and enjoy the opportunity to view and purchase original artwork.
