Artists and makers in Ceredigion and bordering areas are invited to join the 2016 Ceredigion Art Trail.

Now entering into its fifth year, the trail will run from the July 30 to August 29.

Trail Chairman Peter Jackman said: “This year’s Trail offers new opportunities for Artists and Makers, whether as a solo artist or as part of a group. There are different categories of membership to suit everyone, and for the first time we are offering a discounted membership to full time students for Solo Trail membership.

"Members will be listed in the 2016 Trail Guide and Directory, 10,000 of which are distributed throughout the county, with a corresponding entry on the Art Trail website. This year we are also really pleased to announce that we will be holding an Art Trail Summer Fair at the Old College, Aberystwyth.”

Last year over 200 artists and makers took part in the Trail with more than 70 venues open to the public across Ceredigion.

It saw around 7,000 visitors vishing the venues to see and buy the work of artists and makers.

Artists and Makers wishing to join the Trail should complete the on-line form by March 31 at ceredigionarttrail.org.uk
