It
consists of open studios and workplaces, galleries,
exhibitions by individual artists, craftspeople and groups, and other
events such as demonstrations, workshops and children’s
activities. AREA The
Wylye Valley Art Trail covers a 12 mile radius from the centre of the Wylye
Valley, including Warminster, Westbury, Maiden Bradley, Mere, Hindon, Tisbury, Wylye,
and villages in between. ORGANISATION Wylye Valley Art Trail is an artist led, non - profit organisation, run by a team consisting of 10 volunteer members. No-one is paid or receives a salary for the work they do for WVAT. The Wylye Valley Art Trail is predominantly paid for by artist's fees, although we gratefully receive 7.5% of our funding from Wiltshire Council. PUBLICITY The
Wylye Valley Art Trail has become a regular fixture
on the arts calendar in the South West. We aim to actively promote and
advertise locally, regionally and, where
possible, nationally. We'll be seeking coverage through newspapers,
on radio, TV and online. THE GUIDEMAP Our principal means of publicity is the WVAT'11 Guidemap, which will be published in April 2011, with an estimated print run of 30,000 copies. This takes the form of a booklet, with listings and images for each event. It also has a map of the area, with numbered references to the listings. Guidemaps
are distributed to Tourist
Information Centres, Libraries, Arts and Leisure Centres, Galleries,
Shops, Pubs, Hotels and many other outlets in a wide area around and beyond the Wylye
Valley. Participants will
be able to collect quantities of guidemaps for their own publicity
purposes. We
are setting- up a volunteer network for
distributing guidemaps and posters, please indicate on the entry form if you
can help.
THE
WEBSITE All the information and images which appear in the
Guidemap will also be on The Wylye Valley Art Trail website:
www.wvat.co.uk After the art trail, the website becomes "The Trail Goes on...!" with ongoing listings for the visual arts in this area. Participants taking part in WVAT'11 will be entitled to 2 years of free event and exhibition listings on this site. ENTRY To be eligible to participate, you need to be resident in, work in, based in or have a strong interest or connection with South + West Wiltshire. You just need to find a venue and organize your own event. If you're having problems finding a venue, or you'd like to find someone to share a venue, we may be able to help or advise, just contact us ENTRY FEES In order to achieve a high- quality and well- promoted event, participation fees have had to be
raised a bit since WVAT' 09. The fee for an individual artists is £88
( less if there's more than one artist sharing a venue ). The
fee for an Art Group is £113 and the fee for a Gallery is £172.
Still modest when compared to other open arts events and we hope
you still feel you are receiving value for money.
