Enjoy the Art Adventure Trail, and be in with a chance to win a £100 worth of Art! Part of the and Open Studios Event 2016

As part of this years Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios, a group of seven established and new artists and makers based in , and Coltishall, have joined together to form the ‘Broadland Art Adventure Trail'. The Trail introduces work by a diverse range of artists - with studios and workshops nestled in some of Broadlands most classic and beautiful locations!

Painting, printmaking, photography, pottery, illustration, collage, textiles and wearable art are all on show, with styles to appeal to all tastes. Be enthralled by the amazing use of colour and pattern, admire exquisite compositions, and wonder at the irresistibly tactile ceramics and textiles.

Trail leaflets, which are beautifully illustrated, show the locations of the studios and will be available from many locations, such as Authority information centres, local libraries and shops, and individual artists studios. Do look out for them, they are a work of art in themselves!

This year, Trail artists are offering a very special opportunity. If you visit all the studios on the Trail and get your Visitors Card signed, you will be entered into a Prize Draw for one person to win a piece of artwork from any of the participating artists. Visitors Cards can be obtained from any of the artists, and the artwork available from each artist will be on display during your visit. If the winner would prefer, a £100 Voucher can be issued to spend towards a more expensive piece from any of the Trail artists.

Also featured on the trail map are some lovely places to stop for a coffee and cake, or enjoy a leisurely pub lunch - giving you a great day out, an opportunity to see and buy art, chat to the artists and time to explore our beautiful Broadland. Why not come and indulge the senses?

Make the most of this rare opportunity to meet the artists personally - get an insight into their private worlds, see their skills first hand, and maybe buy yourself a unique piece of art!
