ABOUT
Summer Art Trail is a journey between places around Leicester. Exhibitions and events will
be held across the city celebrating visual art, film, photography, installation, spoken word
and music. The Trail is held in different venues within walking distance of each other and this
year is included as part of City Festival 2015. Summer Art Trail highlights art organisations
within Leicester, whilst supporting the local community, small independent businesses and
showcasing local, national and international artists.
Summer Art Trail was devised and organised by Silver Vine Arts, a non-profit, artist led collective
whose mission is to enhance and highlight the arts within Leicester.
As our main activities as Silver Vine Arts we set up galleries in unexpected areas, host internships
and placements and help to train graduates into paid employment throughout the year.
Look out for our contemporary art stall ‘The Encounter Counter’ which highlights 22 up and coming
artists; Tracy Kershaw, Oliver Legar, Ruth Singer, Wayne Mitchelson, Ashok Mistry, and James
Chantry are to name but a few. Works are sold at low cost allowing members of the public to
purchase art works whilst also helping to raise money to support next year’s Trail.
Donations are invaluable so please feel free to give what you can by buying artists’ work, Paypal
money via [email protected] or paying directly through our website - summerarttrail.
weebly.com This will help to go towards next year’s Trail.
We would like to say a big thank you to all our volunteers, resident artists, curators, stewards,
contributing organisations, performers and musicians.
With special thanks for many months of hard work to Silver Vine Arts:
Leila Houston, Melissa Fletcher, Zory Rubel, Darren O’Brien, Ahmed Zormati, Rebecca Vials,
Francisca Sanchez, Dave Soden & David Wilson Clark
The Summer Art Trail was organised by Silver Vine Arts Collective in partnership with and
with the kind support of the following organisations:

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Leila Galloway is artist in residence at LCB DEPOT
in St Georges Cultural Quarter.
For two months she will be spending her time collating, mapping, drawing, walking
and recording while investigating the local histories and physical artifacts found in
buildings, on the streets and in the recording archives.
She intends to use sound recordings, drawings and sculptural interventions to
create something new and poetic, which respond to the artifacts of the local area.
“insects – no matter how lifeless they appear to be – have a
sort of agency, one where they can connect with time, a kind
of synesthesia of our present with the past.” - Feb 2015.
Her practice includes drawing, sculpture, installation, which investigate elegiac and
somatic qualities through material form. She unravels possible meaning through
the playful and exploratory handling of materials until the final objects present
references or triggers for the spectator to experience a contradiction between
two opposite states of being. Key to her practice is the attention to detail through
the repetition of tiny forms; creating a feeling of obsessive thoroughness, yet,
contrasting with an anarchic sense of a loss of control.
Supported By the Fine Art and Photography Research Group,
De Montfort University.

THE QUEEN OF BRADGATE
This space
invited artists
to collaborate,
share in ideas and
respond to the
walls that echo
the history of the
building.
New to the trail this year is
The Queen of Bradgate’s
atmospheric top floor rooms.
The Queen of Bradgate is a
newly renovated pub on High
Street, the upper floor is host to
Silver Vine Arts HQ and artists’
studio space. For 2 months
leading up to the Summer Art
Trail, artists in residence and
members of Silver Vine Arts
have collaborated, shared
ideas and responded to the
walls that echo the history of
the aged building. The work
produced features alongside
the festival’s Open Call artists,
selected by Silver Vine Arts.

ALISON ALLEN
Alison Allen’s work treats
a building as a body;
a body of memories.
“However functional we
require a building to be our
occupancy scars it and
layers of experience build
up in its fabric”.
