28 to 30 June 2019
/ free event All venues are open 11am - 5pm each day ILKLEY ART TRAIL 2019 Welcome to the 2019 Ilkley Art Trail programme. We made the decision to move the Trail to the end of June partly to see if better weather makes a difference to visitor numbers but also June allows us to access venues that normally are being used by the Literature Festival. Let us know what you think about the change of date.
Ilkley Arts has had a busy 18 months since the last Trail. Most significantly we have moved to the Manor House estate and are based in two spaces in the cottages adjacent to the Manor House. This has allowed us to create a new beautiful studio space in No 4 Castle Yard and a new venture linked to the new Ilkley Arts Hub scheme. Several exhibitions have been held in the studio space and a wide range of workshops from bunting making to ceramics, jewellery making to life drawing.
We have opened the Solar Gallery in the Manor House and set up a new membership scheme for people who love art.
So, to the Trail. There are over 50 artists exhibiting in the Trail this year and the quality of their work is as high as ever. The programme will also feature fringe events happening before workshops during and some fantastic art events happening after the Trail - so make sure you put the programme somewhere safe.
We have worked with our key designer – Massimiliano Belli - since he was as student at Bradford School of Art. He has now set up his own design company ( F ro m ab road ) with his partner and we are delighted to supported his up and coming business venture.
Our volunteers play a key role in making the Trail happen and so a big thank you goes to all of them. We have also continued to enjoy great support from all kinds of businesses and individuals – our thanks go to all of them too.
Ilkley has a thriving and developing art scene and one that we need to nurture and celebrate to help it thrive.
We hope you will enjoy the Trail.

Art School Ilkley is now very well established at the studio. We offer the studio for rental by artists and other groups for workshops. The Solar Gallery has launched at the Manor House. We are renovating an additional collaborative space for use by members.
We have also launched a membership scheme. If, like us, you love Ilkley and love the arts, then you can join the Ilkley Arts Hub and help us create a vibrant creative hub for everyone. £5 per month. Exclusive benefits. See website for details. www.ilkleyarts.org NEW PARTNERSHIP

6 ART STALL
An Art stall is being run in the courtyard at the Manor House in aid of the Art Fund which is a national charity that raises money to keep valuable artwork in galleries and museums for all the public to enjoy instead of them being bought by private collectors.

In my opinion, art is crucial to our lives as it asks questions about the world around us”. Handmade gifts from hanging love hearts, to intricate candle holders will be for sale.

The artists have tried to evoke those experiences in their work.

MAKING SPACE EXHIBITION
With Lucia Smith, Kerry Stoker and Jo Tinker 6th – 10th November 2019
Out with the old and in with the new! An art exhibition with a difference. A unique chance to buy beautiful pieces at fantastic cut down prices as well as being the first to grab some brand new, not seen before pieces of art.
CHRISTMAS FAIR
Following the last 2 years’ highly successful Fairs in the Manor House another one is planned for Friday 29th November, Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December.
Full details will be announced later in the Summer.
31 HOW TO USE THE PROGRAMME VENUES
The numbering of the venues is not in a geographical sequence and we suggest you just create your own trail according to the artists you would like to see. MAP
There is a map showing all the venues in the middle of this programme. There will be large maps at the town hall and Manor House too to help guide you to the venues. There is also a printable version of the map on the website. NB only the main and relevant roads are marked on the maps. Look out for large venue signs, bunting and directional signs to guide you to the venues. Also check the distance between venues if you are walking. OPENING TIMES
All venues are open 11 am – 5 pm on the 3 days of the Trail. PAYMENTS
Some of the artists will have a card reader but some will only be able to take cash or cheque. There are cash machines on Brooke Street, The Grove and in supermarkets. PARKING
It is always best to assume there is no parking at the town centre venues and so you should use the main car parks in the town. The venues on the outskirts of the town or in Addingham will have on street parking. ACCESS INFORMATION
The details about the accessibility of venues and toilet availability will be available at the Town Hall Art Trail information desk and at the Manor House and these details are also on the Ilkley Arts website.
Liability: Ilkley Arts cannot accept responsibility for members of the public visiting artists’ studios or other venues during the Trail or other events run by Ilkley Arts. Visitors to any of the events run by Ilkley Arts do so entirely at their own risk.
