Join the Boyle Arts Festival Art Trail 2026!
Boyle Arts Festival Art Trail, running from July 16th to 25th is an excellent opportunity to view the work of local artists. The Art Trail offers an unparalleled chance for artists to exhibit their work in various shop windows and vacant spaces around the town, providing a unique platform to engage with the community and visitors alike.
Enhancing Community and Creativity
The incorporation of pop-up galleries and art trails has not only beautified vacant premises but also bolstered a spirit of community and creativity within Boyle. We are proud to continue this tradition and invite you to be a part of this creative showcase.
Please see the locations of all exhibitions on the map below:
Participation Details for Next Year
Visibility and Reach: A detailed map of the Art Trail will be featured on our website and distributed widely before the festival kicks off, ensuring your work gains maximum exposure.
Exhibition Size: To allow for a diverse range of art and artists, we kindly request that your exhibitions remain compact. This approach ensures that we can accommodate as many artists as possible, maximising the space available.
Artist Responsibilities:
- Securing Space: It is essential for artists to engage with business owners directly to obtain permission for window/space use.
- Display and Insurance: The responsibility for hanging, displaying, and insuring artwork falls to the artist.
- Boyle Arts Festival assumes no responsibility for the artworks displayed on the Boyle Art Trail nor for any sales transactions.
