Arts & Architecture Trail
The Call for Artists is now open and the Melbourne Festival Art & Architecture Trail will take place on 18 & 19 September 2021. 2020 was a strange year for all of us but we would like to thank everyone for their support last year – and we look forward to working with all of our Artists, Hosts, Volunteers, and Sponsors in 2021.
Let's Celebrate Melbourne Festival!
For the past fifteen year Arts Melbourne has celebrated the creative and performing arts in Melbourne, South Derbyshire, right in the heart of Britain. The highlight of the Arts Melbourne calendar is the Melbourne Festival Art & Architecture Trail each September but we also deliver a year round programme of activities and events.
Don’t forget to put the dates 18 & 19 September 2021 in your diary when we will be back with a Mini Melbourne Festival Art & Architecture Trail with many of your favourite artists in gardens, halls and marquees around the heart of Melbourne. We can’t wait to see you all!
