WHERE CAN I EXHIBIT?

Hosting Your Open Studio:
Opening your studio to the public is an invaluable opportunity to make connections, gather feedback, and, of course, sell your work. While it can be a rewarding experience, hosting an open studio requires careful planning and preparation. Be aware that visitor numbers can vary greatly, and there may be quiet periods followed by busier times. It’s important that you feel comfortable opening your space to visitors and are prepared for fluctuations in traffic.

PUBLICITY & PROMOTION

The Batheaston Art Trail will be promoted through our partner organizations (Grow Batheaston, St John’s Church, and Batheaston New Village Hall) on their social media platforms.

We also encourage you to promote the event via your own social media accounts where appropriate.

Your registration fee will help cover the design and printing of a trail leaflet and other administrative costs. We are actively seeking additional funding to support publicity efforts
and involve the broader community, including schools, youth groups, and local businesses.

Promotion began in April 2024 through Local Look, and we will continue to expand marketing efforts in the lead-up to the event in August and September. Our goal is to reach audiences across the Bath area and beyond.

INSURANCE & SAFETY

Artists are responsible for insuring their work and studio contents during the Art Trail weekend. The Batheaston Art Trail does not provide public liability insurance, so it is essential that you have this in place. Please ensure you provide a copy of your insurance
certificate prior to the event.

For information on insurance options, visit www.a-n.co.uk which offers insurance and a subscription to its newsletter. If you need advice on the best coverage for your situation,
