Call for submissions for Art Trail, New Mills Festival

New Mills Festival is delighted to invite submissions from artists across the UK to take part in a two-week long Art Trail. The Trail forms part of the Festival which takes place across New Mills from the 9th to the 25th September 2016. Submissions open on 20th March 2016 and close on midnight 15th May 2016. The Art Trail turns the town into a gallery, and in 2015 more than fifty local businesses took part to host artists’ work in their windows and premises. The Trail includes a “Big Weekend”, timed to coincide with the hugely popular Lantern Procession finale, which attracts an audience of more than 10,000. The Big Weekend sees artists and venues across New Mills open their doors to host pop-up exhibitions, open studios, workshops and demonstrations, and arts and crafts markets.
