Combe Down Art Trail Needs You!

Hello! It’s early in the year, but we’re reaching out to all Combe Down Art Trail artists, visitors, and supporters in search of volunteers to help run the art trail this September, and most specifically for someone who can take on the leadership role.

The Combe Down Art Trail has been a great success for the past eight years, first under the leadership of Jeni Wood and then Sally Jefferies, both of whom have since stepped down from the role. 
 
The team of volunteers includes Catherine Beale (press), Ele Nash (website, Instagram), Vikki Yeates (Facebook and miscellaneous), Kathy Pearce (finance), and Hils Strickland (design) as well as others who offer ideas and support. All these roles can be restructured under new leadership.
 
The team is looking for a new leader who can liaise with artists and the wider mailing list for the five months leading up the trail (from April when submissions go live). The things that need doing are:
·         Taking over the database – this contains the application forms, artist details, venue details. This can be copied onto your own computer
·         Taking over the email list – this is a gmail account accessed via a password
·         Taking over the bank account – this is an online NatWest account for art trail fees and expenses
·         Managing deadlines for printing the maps, posters, and items for the local press.

​These tasks can be done by one person or potentially shared. You don’t have to be an artist!
 
We really hope the art trail can take place this year, so please do get in touch if you can help with any of these roles by emailing us by Wednesday, March 5th!
