“Artists of all calibers, if you’ve ever wanted to showcase your creativity and artistry in a vibrant, community-oriented setting, then Boyle Arts Festival presents you with a unique opportunity”.
“We are inviting artists to participate in the much loved Boyle Arts Festival Art Trail, running from July 16th to 25th”.
Display Your Art in the Heart of Boyle
The Art Trail offers an unparalleled chance for artists to exhibit their work in various shop windows and vacant spaces around the town, providing a unique platform to engage with the community and visitors alike. If you’re considering being a part of this artistic journey or have already secured your exhibition spot, we’re here to include you in our official Art Trail information sheet and map.
Key Dates
Closing Date for Inclusion: 12th June, 2026. Festival Opening: July 16th
Participation Details
Visibility and Reach: A detailed map of the Art Trail will be featured on our website and distributed widely before the festival kicks off, ensuring your work gains maximum exposure.
Exhibition Size: To allow for a diverse range of art and artists, we kindly request that your exhibitions remain compact. This approach ensures that we can accommodate as many artists as possible, maximising the space available.
Artist Responsibilities
Securing Space: It is essential for artists to engage with business owners directly to obtain permission for window/space use.
Display and Insurance: The responsibility for hanging, displaying, and insuring artwork falls to the artist.
Boyle Arts Festival assumes no responsibility for the artworks displayed on the Boyle Art Trail nor for any sales transactions.
Enhancing Community and Creativity
In recent editions, the incorporation of pop-up galleries and art trails has not only beautified vacant premises but also bolstered a spirit of community and creativity within Boyle. We are proud to continue this tradition and invite you to be a part of this creative showcase.
