How to Take Part in the E17 Art Trail

LATECOMERS
Information for artists and performers...
​
Hello! No, it's not too late to exhibit, but you do need to be quick.
You need to be able to arrange your own exhibition and venue, and then register and list your event with us here. Alternatively, you could get in touch with organisers of the latest open calls, see our recent newsletters for details.
​
Although the advertised deadline has passed, we can add new events to the digital festival guide. However, your venue cannot be added to the printed map as this has already been printed. Please read all the information below, register and submit your event details via the form sent to you. We will add latecomers as soon as time allows. We are a small team and must prioritise the overall festival promotion at this stage, but it will be great to have you on board! 
​

SIGN UP HERE

Register with us just once to create your login to access the members sections of this website.

Registration includes one main exhibition or event listing. If you are organisting multiple events and exhibitions, you can pay for any additional listings you need from the 'My Orders' section once you are logged into the website. Don't worry - once we have you registered, we can work out what else you might need up until 1 April.

​

Artists, Event Organisers & Venues:

Register below to take part. 

​

Festival Friends:

Support the festival with a £25 donation.

Choose from either a name credit or a spot on the map with a simple listing to share your creative passion by displaying artworks visible 24/7 out on the art trail. Perhaps fill your windows, gardens or entire street with art.

​

Venue Partner Registration: 

Support the festival and feature your business on the E17 Art Trail map with a sponsored venue listing. This is not essential - exhibtitors can register and list exhibitions and events in your venues themselves, but you may wish to highlight your business as a key festival destination. You can share more about your offer as well as the artworks, perhaps include special discount for visitors.  Plus we'd really appreciate your support to make the festival a huge success.

​

New this year:

For those organising lots of activities, and to make it more affordable, we have created simplified mini listings to highlight any related events. Once registered you can list additional events that you wish to highlight in that venue for £25 each (this could be individual artist profiles within a group show or open studios, or things related to the main listing such as a special opening or workshop). You will be able to purchase these once you register and have a login to the members area of this website - See 'My Orders' section. We will share more information once you are registered.


Please ensure all your event and venue details are finalised and listed correctly for inclusion in the festival programme by 1 April 2024. The listings form with be emailed to you early in March.

Further details are available in the E17 Art Trail Handbooks.

​

Thanks so much. We are really excited to hear what you are planning to do!

FESTIVAL THEME FOR 2024
VALUE

To refresh and inspire you each art trail has a theme.

​

Our theme for 2024 is 'Value'.  You are welcome to plan your E17 Art Trail exhibition or event with this theme in mind or follow your own creative ideas.

​

This year’s theme can be interpreted in a variety of ways. You might think of value in terms of how art creates value; does it give your life deep satisfaction or give great enjoyment with audiences? Does art create value by bringing your neighbourhood together or does it create talking points that are of value to society? Or you might be interested by systems of value and valuing?

What's New?

Bloomberg Connects

Artillery is excited to announce that it has partnered with Bloomberg Connects. We will benefit from their ‘in kind’ sponsorship by utilising their free app for mobile phones. This will replace the traditional paper format of our printed E17 Art Trail Guide and work in conjunction with a foldable (paper) map.

 

It will either work as a stand-alone festival programme with interactive map or it can be used in conjunction with our new fold out ‘hard copy’ E17 Art Trail 2024 map.  This will be distributed all over Waltham Forest and beyond.

​

The Bloomberg Connect App is FREE to download and is available to download on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.

​

Festival Publicity
As well as the E17 Art Trail App, Artillery is providing the fold-out E17 Art Trail map free of charge.

​

Printed posters, banners, vinyl window stickers, and Art Trail Map will be available to collect during May 2024.


Free digital versions of all the publicity materials and the E17 Art Trail logo will be made available for you to use for your individual exhibitions and events on the resources page.
