Shrewsbury Arts Trail CIC is now in its fourth year, with a mission to bring unique and high-quality contemporary art to be enjoyed by the public for free. It celebrates our vibrant arts community and boosts the reputation of our county as a vibrant and welcoming cultural destination.

Stressing the value of arts and culture to society, Shrewsbury Arts Trail coordinator Phil Langstaff (@findfocusphil ) added: “Engagement with arts and culture has been shown to improve community cohesion by bringing people together and enabling communities to feel safer and stronger, while reducing social exclusion and isolation.”

Help us to contiune to fill Shrewsbury's Streets with ART.

The Shrewsbury Arts Trail continues to drive visitors to Shrewsbury and this summer has brought a fabulous all-British female sculpture trail to town, alongside a raft of fabulous exhibitions, workshops and talks.

Organisers are now appealing to the public to help raise £6,000 to help keep the Arts Trail alive.

Jess the founder of Shrewsbury Arts Trail CIC said; “Keeping an annual presence for the Shrewsbury Arts Trail by having such prestigious artwork on display in our town will help build on what we have achieved over the past four years - putting a major pin in the map for the Arts in Shrewsbury. Sadly, funding for the Arts is ever more difficult to come by. We have managed to deliver the trail free of charge up until now, but we have been up against hundreds of bids this year. Disappointingly, we have not been able to get the funding we’d have liked to achieve all of our plans.
