Treasure 5-10 June Private view 4 June 6-9pm Open: 11am – 5pm Bath Artist’s studios, as part of this year’s ‘Fringe Arts Bath’ are proud to present ‘Treasure’… ‘Treasure’ represents the diverse and wide ranging work by artists based at the studio; covering many different disciplines including painting, sculpture, installation work, photography, film-making printmaking and more. ‘Treasure’, like diamonds promises to be a multi-faceted gem of show; the work on show will reflect that treasure can mean many different things to different people, from treasured artefacts, to golden sunsets and everything in-between… Treasure Trail As the studios and gallery are a little bit out of the way, we’re going to help you find us with a Treasure trail… Follow the keys To find the routes to Comfortable place, just follow the big yellow keys with the BAS logo stamped on them…from big bunches of keys hanging in the trees, on lampposts, fences, any where we can find that won’t infringe on legislation, or chalk drawings marking the way on pavements and paths…they won’t be hard to find, we promise. The key start locations are from Green Park, through Sainsburys and along the tow path; the Queen Square trail will be marked through Chapel Row, onto Monmouth Place and along the Upper Bristol Road; and Charlotte St car park trail through the Royal Avenue toward Marlborough Buildings, Marlborough Row and into Victoria Park… Look out for the piper On the weekend 5/6 June, a wild bunch of musicians will be on hand to lead you from the area around Queen Square to the studio gallery…tours advertised nearer the time. When you get to here As with anything involving Treasure on the same weekend of 5/6 June there will Pirates on hand (kid friendly ones at that), to entertain you, along with refreshments, music, mayhem and general merriment…oh and the show itself.
