Bookends of Sudbury is planning an artistic extravaganza for Sudbury in 2012.
The community art gallery (which can be found just opposite the back door to the Town Hall in Gaol Lane) is a not for profit organisation devoted to supporting local artists and promoting artistic education for all in the local community. Courses are run throughout the year, and for 2011 they are hoping to organise a ‘summer of art ‘trail through the town.
At Gainsborough’s House we are very excited about this project, since we are keen to play our part and encourage all artistic activity in Sudbury. We know that, as a gallery and museum, we will benefit from more visitors to the town, particularly if they are interested in art. Additionally we want to encourage all residents in and around Sudbury to discover for themselves how much more enriching life becomes once you get the ‘art habit’, whether as practitioner or aficionado! We hope to be able to lend our support to Bookends in a number of ways.
It is hoped that the event, once established, will become an annual event, exploring different themes each time.
To get the project off the ground, funding is currently being sought from Natwest Community Force, which supports community projects around the country. It is a competitive process however, and the initiative needs your vote!
You can help to get the project off the ground by going to
on or after 26th September to register your support.
This is a great idea! Give it your vote!
