BOGNOR COASTAL ART TRAIL PREVIEW EXHIBITION 2023

Bognor Coastal Art Trail will be holding its second Preview Exhibition from Saturday 1 July to Saturday 8 July 2023. The exhibition is to showcase the talent of local artists and craftspeople in the Bognor area prior to the Bognor Coastal Art Trail, which takes place over the last two weekends in July.

The BCAT committee has been lucky enough to secure some Grant Aid funding from Bognor Town Council, and Reynolds have very kindly offered us some exhibition space in Bognor High Street.

Having a preview exhibition prior to the actual Art Trail gives local people and visitors to Bognor a taster of what can be viewed in the artists own environments. Each artist and craftsperson will be asked to provide between one and three pieces of their work to be displayed at the exhibition.

The Mayor and Bognor’s Town Cryer will be invited to the opening on Saturday 1 July and it is hoped they will be able to attend.

Why don’t you come along on Saturday 1 July and enjoy the sounds of The Regis Jazz Band who will be playing in the High Street between 12pm-2pm on this opening Saturday.

Don’t forget the exhibition will be open from 9am-5.30pm from Saturday 1 July to Saturday 8 July (closed Sunday 2nd July). Pop along and pick up your free trail guide to enable you to view where each artist or craftsperson is based so you can plan your visits over the last two weekends in July.

The Bognor Coastal Art Trail takes place on 22-23 July and 29-30 July 2023 along a 7 mile coastal strip starting from Pagham to Aldwick, Bognor Regis, Felpham, Middleton on Sea and finishing in Elmer. Or you could start at Elmer and finish at Pagham. The trail can easily be walked or cycled over the two weekends. A fantastic opportunity to see our local talented artists in their creative spaces.

It will be great to meet local people so come and check out the Preview Exhibition to pick up your free Bognor Coastal Art Trail guide.
