Braintree Art Trail Launches Saturday 11 July

07 July 2009

"Windows" the Braintree & District Art Trail starts this Saturday 11th July through to 26th July 2009

A celebration of visual arts activity in and around the Braintree District, "Windows" is a unique opportunity to see the range of artwork being carried out in the area. Over 30 venues are showcasing the work of local artists who have responded to the broad theme of "Windows", chosen to reflect the important local heritage of the Crittall Window Company, and the exhibiting windows along the trail.

Organised by Braintree District Arts and supported by Essex County Council, Crittall WIndows and Braintree District Council, the trail also highlights the wide range of architectural history illustrated by the windows in the town, and new site-specific artwork displayed in the District Museum sponsored by Crittalls. "Windows" is a guided opportunity to stroll around Braintree and see where Francis Crittall founded the company back in 1849, visit exhibitions, galleries, open studios and workplaces, and try your hand at the workshops on offer.
