Open Art Exhibition A Great Success!

After 8 busy days the Open Arts Exhibition closed it's doors on Sunday the 17th May. The exhibition, which is part of the Wycombe Arts Festival is usually held in the Guildhall but this year was held in the Old Miss Selfridge shop in Eden. With over 2000 visitors the exhibtion attracted more than four times the usual number of attendees. This years exhibtion featured co-ordinated displays from many of Wycombe's visual arts groups including West Wycombe Art Group, Hughenden Art Group, Penn Street Painters, Olive Branch, Studio 18 and Bucks Potters.
Arts4every1, the community arts network for Wycombe District managed the open art space and hosted a successful reception evening on Thursday. This featured performances by Bucks New University who showcased a scene from their forthcoming production of a Midsummer Night's Dream, Shed @ The Park who performed some enchanting songs and Sarah-Jayne Ebdon who gave the audience an early preview of Living Wycombe, her new public artwork at the back of House of Fraser.

BACKGROUND: The creative industries in Wycombe District generate considerable revenue and provide many employment and skills development opportunities. Against the backdrop of uncertain times, it is crucial that employers and service providers work together to actively promote the district as a credible global destination for creative business. With our excellent location and the Olympics looming, much can be done to put Wycombe on the world stage. Creative industries and enterprise have a fundamental part to play in this endeavour. Creative Wycombe is a new initiative to build a connected community for companies, organisations and individuals operating in the area of creative industries and creative enterprise in Wycombe District. Creative Wycombe will act as proof that the district has a proud heritage in creativity that warrants a serious and considered promotion of the creative industries and talent now and into the future.
