Welcome Welcome to the Green Door Art Trail, 2021. Already it feels to have been a roller-coaster ride with expectations and predictions changing every couple of days. Back in Spring we had to decide whether to accept the risk of a cancelled trail or face the even worse scenario of having cancelled the trail only to find that people were moving freely again in September. At time of writing, it seems that we made the right choice, so I do hope things continue to improve and we can all enjoy an exciting and successful trail. Lockdown has hit different artists in different ways. Some have found they could work well in the enforced isolation; others have found it totally depressing and stifling. We all now just want to get back to work and the stimulation of sharing it with others, so please visit as many venues as you can and help to make this a new beginning for everyone. John Davenport Janice Benson Chair Administrator COVID-19 We would request that all visitors follow the COVID-19 guidelines in place at the time of the Trail.
