Green Door Annual Art Trail

25 - 27 September 2009

This was the fifth annual Art Trail organised by Green Door Studios. Artists living and working in the dramatic landscape of Cumbria welcomed visitors into their studios, homes, gardens and even converted barns.

Green Door Studios in Kendal were also open to the public for these three days.

It was a fantastic opportunity to see art displayed in both professional and domestic settings and to buy affordable work directly from the artists and makers.

The Big Inspiration

Art and Science at Kendal Museum, 20th March - 26th April 2008

This exciting event was a collaboration between Green Door artists and Kendal Museum and explored the links between art and science.

Each participating artist chose an object from the museum collections, ranging from Egyptian Shabti figures to a stuffed bittern.

Their chosen object was then used as the inspiration for their work.

Shops throughout Kendal displayed the resulting artworks and created a trail to an exhibition at the Museum Gallery.
