Join us at an exciting new series of arts' events, exhibitions, fairs, workshops, demonstrations and open studios at various venues and locations across Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Spread across the entire year, the spotlight will fall on specific locations at different times. Some locations will become mini trails within it, as we invite nearby artists' studios and galleries to join us during our visit.

The Trail will stretch across Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, introducing you to local artists and makers along the way. Every one of them is a small independent local business.

We hope to help them reach an even wider audience and also support other local businesses and arts' venues.
