Three local artists are being given the opportunity to take part in a new art trail in Workington. We are commissioning three visual artists from north and west Cumbria to produce artworks and deliver creative workshops for a Workington Art Trail. Workington Art Trail, in combination with Workington Sound and Light Show, is an @ace_thenorth and Cumberland Council funded project aimed at bringing footfall back to the town centre and showcasing what the area has to offer. We aim to launch the Workington Art Trail in December, on the same weekend as the Light and Sound Show. The artwork will be on display until the end of February 2025. The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday 1 March 2024. To find out more and make an application ⬇ workingtonarttrail.com/ #letscreate
