'Discover art by the sea
The creative coastal town of Leigh-on-Sea has long been a haven for artists, and this year's art trail is gearing up to be one of its best yet.
Featuring more than 40 local artists, the event is now in its fourteenth year, having been established in 1997 by a group of local contemporary artists as a public showcase of the talent of the town.
The art trail is centred on taking art out of traditional exhibition spaces to make it more accessible and inclusive, and to encourage the involvement and support of the local community, no matter what their background or interests.
There will be a range of creative talent on display, encompassing art, photography, ceramics, textiles and jewellery.
Artists' studios will be mixed with homes, local shops and bars as venues, with all of the work on sale.
The trail members will also be working closely with local schools, youth schemes and community ventures, and a number of school exhibitions and community based art projects and installations.'
