Deadline 31st July 2013
Solihull Fairtrade, a group that promotes fair-trade products and ethical trading throughout the borough, and Bastian Contrarian, a local agency that provides PR, co-branding and curatorial services to businesses, galleries, artists and not-for profit organisations, have joined forces to launch a new and exciting cultural event.
Due to launch in the summer holidays of 2014, the Art in Rure (AIR) art trail will consist of numerous indoor and outdoor art exhibitions, workshops, live performance, sculpture, installation, photography and video art by local, regional, national and international artists.
The aim of the Art in Rure art trail, which will involve a broad section of the local community, is to increase awareness of the Solihull Fairtrade network and local businesses, but also to raise the cultural profile of Solihull and provide new opportunities for the thriving but often ‘invisible’ art community in the borough and surrounding area.
