Call for artists for 2017 Wirksworth Festival Art & Architecture Trail

Applications are now open for artists to apply to be part of the 2017 Art & Architecture Trail, the opening weekend event of the Wirksworth Festival which last year attracted over 4,000 people.

Exceptional, engaging and high quality artists are selected each year for the Art & Architecture Trail and is a chance to buy first-class affordable art, meet the artists and peek inside some of Derbyshire’s most distinctive homes.

Private homes from lead miners’ cottages to fine Georgian townhouses, together with historic buildings, gardens, courtyards, shop windows and churches, become galleries for works ranging from paintings, photography, ceramics, and jewellery to textiles, sculpture and installation.

This year’s Art & Architecture Trail takes place 9 – 10 September.
