tba Drawn to the ValleyDrawn to the Valley:
Free event in spectacular scenery, starts August Bank Holiday weekend.
Fifty four professional artists of the Tamar Valley open their doors to you, between 28th August and 5th September 2010, including Bank Holiday Monday. The public is welcomed into the private working space of the artist, to see the art and chat about working processes and inspirations. Work is for sale at reasonable prices, and meeting the artist will greatly enhance your experience as a buyer. Despite starting in the aftermath of the Foot and Mouth Crisis over seven years ago, this largely self-funded group is still thriving; feeding into the local creative economy.
Anywhere along the banks of the Tamar is a good centre from which to start your cultural journey. Explore the slow pleasure of hidden areas of unspoilt scenery, on both Cornwall and Devon sides of the river, from Launceston down to the Rame Peninsula. Stop for a pasty or cream tea en route. It is free to browse for as long as you like and take your time to choose painters, ceramicists, jewellers and many other skilled practitioners; www.drawntothevalley.co.uk
