Things are going full steam ahead for the 2008 Arts Trail! A lot of stuff has been added to the website in the last few days to help you find what you’re after on the trail. Here’s a full list:
- Arts Trail 2008 - an overview of the trail.
- Artists A-Z - an A-Z list of artists on the trail who have added their details to the website. Artist details can be accessed through this list, and each artist details page also has links at the bottom to pages for the venue that artists are in and their art category, allowing searching just within venues and categories.
Get 'em while they're hot!

If you are thinking that this break would be a good time to get yourself an account on the SBA site, settle down in front of the computer and upload your artist details for the arts trail, maybe write a blog entry and tell people about a show that you’re doing and why they might like to attend in a member news item, I couldn’t agree more!
If you’ve been on the site before, but can’t get onto it now, have a look at the Logging in page.
If you haven’t been onto the SBA site before though, you’ll need an account. I’ll set you up a username and password and you can log in to the site and start adding your stuff.
