Last week was the Saltaire Arts Trail in Saltaire, Bradford. As part of the annual Saltaire Festival the public are invited to walk around the streets, halls and houses of Saltaire which display the work of artists, photographers, sculptors and designers alike. The picturesque world heritage site Saltaire was the perfect backdrop for the event and the work on display was very impressive. It was a nice chance to take a look at the amateur work out there and it was a chance for them to display their work for free. There was the chance to purchase work but I found it nice to just walk around, take it all in and perhaps even take inspiration from some of the work on offer. It was my first experience of the festival and I look forward already to the event next year.
On another note I was very impressed by the brochure design (available on the website) and the website design, as you would expect from an arts festival. It did make me laugh that the arts festival falls under the main Saltaire festival and the website for that is awful...take a butchers...www.saltairefestival.co.uk
Some of the brochure pages are below...

This brochure is lovely! If I had to choose one of the two art trails I would definitely have to go with Saltaire over Headingley purely based on the literature. It appears much more professional, whereas the Headingley event looks like a village-fete sort of affair. Was that the case, or were they actually similar events just with different levels of branding?
