Come celebrate the arts with 25 local artists - painting, photography, jewellery, ceramics, illustration, sculpture and textile creators all clearly inspired by the rugged coastal environment in which they live. These artists (many award winning) aim to inspire and nurture creativity through workshops, exhibitions, open studios and unique experiences. Proudly part of the North West Arts charitable Trust,
