Slaithwaite Art Festival is running over the weekend of 13th-14th May 2017, across two venues: Slaithwaite Community Centre and Globe Arts Studio. The festival will be host to a wide range of visual artists, predominately from the Colne Valley area.
The Community Centre on Bankgate will be open on both days. You can browse the art in the gallery, visit the manned stalls and chat to the artists about their work and see work in process in our demonstration room. The Festival will also encourage our children to engage with art and raise awareness of our children’s creativity. A selection of children’s work from local schools will be on show as a preview to the wider Sheer Brilliance exhibition being run by Globe Arts Education in conjunction with the Yorkshire Sculpture Park National Education Archive of Children's Art and the University of Huddersfield. Slaithwaite Playgroup and Toddlers (SPlaT!) will also be opening their doors with some great activities for the younger artist. Wet you
