Art in Penallt

@ Various

The tiny hilltop village of Penallt, overlooking the beautiful River Wye just South of Monmouth, is hosting a major art event in the Autumn to celebrate the latest work by leading local artists and also to create an event with a difference. This is not just about local artists showcasing their latest work; it is also about enthusing and exciting people of all ages in the creative process. With the innovative Sunday Art Boot sale it will appeal to all ages and to collectors with an eye for quality - but also for a bargain. The proceeds will go to charities and also to sustain this type of event in future years. Penallt is no stranger to the arts and people from George Bernard Shaw to Robert Plant have lived and worked here. There are four linked events in the programme.
