Launch of malmesbury high street + art gallery - Saturday 17th August 2024

This year’s town centre art gallery, where retailers and businesses showcase the work of local artists, looks set to be the best yet, with record numbers taking part.
 
Launched on Saturday by Malmesbury’s Deputy Mayor Stephen James, and running until September 22, the High St+ Art Gallery includes 52 works of art displayed in the windows of the town’s shops and businesses.
 
The artwork created both by newcomers and more experienced artists, ranges from paintings and photography, to glasswork, ceramics, mixed media, mosaic and even iconography! All the work is for sale, and some has already been snapped up.
 
Why not get a free trail map from the Town Hall or Tourist Information Centre, and find out where the artworks are on show, then take a tour around?
