An inspirational free event, fresh air, fabulous arts and crafts and even public hangings await visitors to Prom Art, in Cumbria, in August and September. This Grange-over-Sands based event, on Cumbria’s Morecambe Bay coast, entices those who love the unique, the quirky, the true expression of creative talent and the talking piece.
Prom Art events will run from 9.30am to 4pm on both Sunday, 29th August and Sunday, 26th September 2010, when a 600-metre stretch of promenade in the Edwardian resort will be filled with stalls displaying and selling paintings, pottery, jewellery, felt work, glassware, sculpture, hand made cards, knitwear and much more besides.
Over 124 artists have booked to take part in this Prom Art season, with both amateurs and professionals exhibiting and items priced from just a few pounds upwards. Artists and artisans come from ten different counties, with 37 travelling over 50 miles to take part in Prom Art.
As well as selling the items on display, over half of the exhibitors will take private commissions, producing something totally bespoke for the individual customer.
Browsing the array of arts and crafts work on show, whilst taking in the magnificent Morecambe Bay views and sea air, is a pleasure in itself and a perfect way to get some exercise or walk the dog.
A children’s play area is located adjacent to the promenade and refreshments are also on hand. Car parking is just a short stroll away, as is the Grange-over-Sands railway station, which lies on the Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness line. Free musical and dance entertainment is laid on at various times, too.
