Glenarm Art Trail to see coastal spot transformed into living canvas
The historic village of Glenarm will be transformed into a vibrant, living canvas for one day as part of the very first Glenarm Art Trail.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 12, with visitors invited to explore the walkable, family-friendly trail, step inside active workshops, discover original masterpieces – and meet some of the area’s finest makers.
As part of the trail, there’ll be original art, from contemporary paintings, quilts, and sculptures, to textiles, wood engraving, floral art, bespoke jewellery and music.
The trail will be spread over distinctive venues with exhibitions at Glenarm Castle Estate, live forging at The Steensons workshop, and pop-up galleries in community spaces around the village.
There’ll also be live music and live demonstrations to enjoy along the way, with visitors invited to have a bite at Cove Café, a meal at Moran’s bistro, or relax in the village’s cosy hubs.
