‘Be inspired’ is the theme for the second Shrewsbury Arts Trail, which takes place across the Shropshire town throughout July and August.

The initiative provides a platform for local artists to exhibit their work alongside some well-known names.

Exhibits include contemporary works by Jeff Koons, Banksy, Andrew Logan, Tracey Emin, Halima Cassell MBE and many more. Visitors can enjoy a mix of mediums and techniques in the exhibition, from oil on canvas to casting, lithography, ceramics, plastic moulding and textiles.

Shropshire Museums will unveil an 18th century Turner painting of Shrewsbury, from the Shropshire Museums collection, which has been generously re-framed by Jonathan Soden. 

Other exhibits at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery include paintings by Angela Gladwell RA (Museum Balcony), and a display of paintings and sculptures by talented local artists in the Shropshire Gallery.

A sculpture trail throughout the town by acclaimed artist Andrew Logan also features, as does a Cosmic Egg sculpture at Shrewsbury Castle. The initiative also carries an extensive programme of associated events.

The Shrewsbury Arts Trail exhibition and museum galleries are FREE to enter. The Arts Trail runs from Saturday 9th July until the end of August.
