The Arts Trail Studios is a charitable, not-for-profit organisation with the objective of celebrating and promoting contemporary art, so increasing the visibility of local artists and their work.

They provide creative opportunities for artists specialising in paint, print, photography, and sculpture to showcase and sell their work. They exist to support artists from deprived and unsupported backgrounds or those with mental and/or physical disabilities, to offer the general public opportunities to develop a wider appreciation of the visual arts in all their formats by providing easy and relaxed access, to encourage artists at every level to develop their skills and gain access to the wider professional arts community and commercial opportunities and to develop the range of local opportunities, venues and relationships to benefit artists, the public, organisations and businesses.

The studios location offers a passing for the public so they can walk in to a friendly and open environment and meet local artists at work and see the work of many more.
