Saltaire Arts Trail SHOWCASE *NEW for 2022*

Call for unique proposals from visual artists to exhibit art projects, installations, performances, or socially engaged practices as part of the *new* SHOWCASE strand of the Saltaire Arts Trail 30 April - 2 May 2022. The annual Saltaire Arts Trail opens up the UNESCO World Heritage Site to visitors by presenting great contemporary art within its public and private spaces, giving artists a unique exhibiting opportunity. SHOWCASE will provide a platform for visual artists, working in a wide range of disciplines, to explore and realise new creative projects that are experimental, engaging and not for financial benefit. *Please note, this opportunity is one of three strands open for applications within the Saltaire Arts Trail programme of events.*

Event dates: Saturday 30 April - Monday 2 May 2022 (May Day Bank Holiday)

*SHOWCASE* Open Village at Saltaire Arts Trail

Saltaire Inspired's premier event, the Saltaire Arts Trail, takes place annually, and in 2022 will take place during the early May bank holiday weekend, 30 April - 2 May. Over three days, Saltaire becomes a magnet for visitors, with an estimated 6000-8000 attending each year since 2006. There are commissioned exhibitions and installations, a high-end contemporary craft designer/makers fair, free creative family workshops, and of course the famous Open Village Trail - a village wide gallery of contemporary art in the Grade II listed homes and small businesses of Saltaire residents.

Kindly offered by the local residents and small business owners of Saltaire, the Open Village trail will encourage visitors to explore the parts of the village not traditionally on the tourist map. Expanding on the annual Open Houses opportunity, which has run since 2006, this year Saltaire Inspired are introducing art to window spaces, as well as the usual interior houses 'galleries', creating the Open Village galleries.
