Prom Art - an Art and Crafts Show
along the Promenade at
Grange-over-Sands in the English Lake District
Prom Art thanks our sponsors: Leech Design Ltd, Grange Town Council, Grange Hotel,
Northern Print Distribution, “The Sands”, Somerset House, South Lakeland District Council,
WHC Wycherley, Grange & Dist Chamber of Trade and the Prom Cafe
Last Sunday each month April to September 9.30am to 4 pm
Our decision
As no place in Grange can accommodate all the eighty artists who come to Prom Art, we will only provide the out-door option.
Each artist will decide whether to come or not and whether to stay or not. If the weather is very poor we may allow artists to leave early, you will be told this on arrival.
The Lawnsman comes on the prom from the station underpass at 3.45pm so an early exit is not usually possible.
We will put up all rail signs as usual.
Check www.promart.info
home page on the day.
We hope to announce this by 7.00am as the forecast isn’t made until 6.30am.
Experience so far (25 events)
1⅓ events indoors
August 2004 was indoors in 3 venues.
Few visitors & poor sales.
June 2006 we said it would be indoors
but
only 9 artists went indoors - poor sales
25 stayed on the prom, did better
- and enjoyed it.
April 2008 forecast was dry morning & wet afternoon, but was the opposite. Those who stayed made sales.
The artists are always right!
