A WEEKEND festival celebrating Bromsgrove’s creativity will put the town on the cultural map says MP Bradley Thomas.
Creative Arts’ Showcase 24, taking place from Saturday (October 26) to Sunday (October 27) at Bromsgrove School, aims to be the most amazing weekend of art, artisans and performance.
Exhibition visitors will be able to choose their favourite art pieces for ‘The People’s Choice’ artwork. The winning artwork will be Creative Arts’ poster artwork throughout 2025 and will appear all over the West Midlands.
The theme of the weekend is Capturing Creativity which encompasses an interactive Art Trail.
The trail will lead the viewer through the Arena full of artisan and craft stalls, through the Wellness Zone bursting with free opportunities to test out yoga, reiki and a range of therapies, and on to the Art exhibition itself.
The whole interactive experience is being enhanced by an extended team, including professional curator Sonya Russell-Saunders, a senior creative producer responsible for developing creative progreammes and events for young people at Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham.
A Halloween trail will also excite visitors alongside Trick and Treat bags and the Haunted Halloween Light Trail in Sanders Park on the Saturday night.
Bradley said: “This weekend of creativity really is going to put Bromsgrove on the cultural map.
“What’s great about this event is that its making art and culture accessible to all. Art and culture can enrich our lives, especially in the fast pace of modern day life.
“I want to thank Creative Arts for their hard work in organising this superb weekend of fun and entertainment for the whole family.”
This year the Wellness Zone is courtesy of Sara Jones at Zenergy.
She said:”We’ve made all the workshops free to sign up for because we believe that everyone should have access to tools that support their wellbeing.
“This weekend is the perfect opportunity to dip your toe into something you’ve always fancied trying. We want to bring wellness into the community in a way that feels accessible and inclusive.”
