Art in the Orchard

 

Maldon Art Trail is proud to be involved in Opera in the Orchard this year. Come and visit the mini art collective in the chicken shed during the weekend of the Opera. From the dramatic paintings of David Wiseman and the delicate watercolours of Edd Mitcham to the glorious landscape photographs of Jean-Louis Dutaut, the colourful collages of Marie Bevis and the vibrant stained glass of Ian Hughes, this promises to be a fun and exciting exhibition. All of the work, which will also include a selection of eye-catching jewellery, scarves and bags by Sue Beardsworth, will be for sale. The dates of this year's Maldon Art Trail are 26 September to 4 October - look out for more Art in the Orchard then.
