An Art Trail features during the month-long festival, where artists will exhibit and sell work across the town centre. The pop-up exhibitions are free to visit. The Art Trail is intended to encourage more visitors into Hertford town centre, promote the artists whose work will be on sale and support the venues offering the exhibition space.
An array of art will be on display from sculpture to cartoonist, oil on canvas to pottery. Venue opening times will vary and it is suggested that visitors check opening times in advance by visiting www.gohertford.co.uk.
A hard copy of the events programme will be available to collect from Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre at the beginning of the trail.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council’s Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: “The Hertford Arts Festival is a great opportunity to experience a variety of art-related events in the town. The Art Trail is an art exhibition with a difference, and a fantastic collaboration between local businesses and artists. Whether you enjoy viewing the art works over the course of the month as you do your shopping, or complete the full trail in one go, make sure to visit all 21 art locations.”
There are over 20 artists taking part in the Hertford Art Trail:
The Arts Festival also includes other cultural events taking place during the month long festivities including a free Castle Art Trail for families to enjoy, Courtyard Arts Open Exhibition and The Hertford Art Society Exhibition. More information can be found by visiting www.gohertford.co.uk nearer the time of the event.
