The Shrewsbury Art Trail is at The Shrewsbury Museum until the end of August.
This year’s theme is ‘Time’ and the exhibition features original artworks by world-famous artists including Salvador Dali, David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Kris Lamba, Jacob Chandler, Andrew Logan MBE, Halima Cassell MBE, Alice Irwin, Stik and more. On the Museum Balcony, you can also view this year’s Open Exhibition featuring art from local artists, as well as a dynamic community art installation.
Jacob Chandler is an award winning artist and sculptor from the Midlands who reached out to Raby Shropshire to support his next exhibition based on Shakespeare’s As You Like It. The wood frames for these pieces were carefully sourced from the Shropshire Raby Estate with the kind permission of Lord Barnard and the Shropshire Team. The Raby Estate is located in the ancient Forest of Arden, the very setting of the play and completes the artwork story. These wooden frames feature coded plugs, which subtly reveal hidden details about the relationships of the characters depicted, adding a layer of depth and intrigue.
