Saltaire Arts Trail 2019

The annual three-day Saltaire Arts Trail took place from Sat 25 – Mon 27 May 2019 and included the Open Houses Trail, Makers Fair, special events, exhibitions and family activities.

Saltaire Stories were delighted to take part this year in some family activities in Victoria Hall. Using a Word Art computer package children were able to design and create their own personal Saltaire themed artwork to produce bookmarks and pictures to take home.

The theme of the event was ‘What Saltaire means to me’ and the children chose words and images that reflected this. Adding their own name to the design really personalised it for them. Laminating their works of art was the final touch and the children loved this.

We worked co-operatively with Shipley College staff and students who were hosting a Retro Computer games session in the same room which proved really popular. There was also a display of some of the wonderful postcard designs created for the the Saltaire Arts Trail Postcard Exhibition.

So Art and Technology worked really well together to make a great event. A good time was had by all and Saltaire Stories hope to take part again in this annual event.
