Art crawl is the second project that will be Kick-started in the coming weeks and will invite local businesses to provide art space for some of the UKs finest  artists to paint original art works creating an Art crawl in the town centre to boost the local economy and night life offering of the town.

Further works will also be added to the ongoing Cycleway arts trail that was a huge hit with locals last summer .

 

 

Vic added

 

“We feel the time is right to look at getting back to work on projects and will do so in a professional manner . We apologise to anyone who asked for us to paint murals during the lockdown but health and safety of our artists and the public must come first”

“Without doubt we are Tamworths most active visual arts group and will be back with something never seen in the town before by continuing with our annual festival but with a different approach.

If and when it is safe to do so we will work with partners to host a public event for all to enjoy but until then we hope everyone continues to stay safe “

All projects have been supported using public money from arts council England , Tamworth borough council . And private sponsorship from local businesses of Tamworth.
