The publicity group is about to meet up again this Friday 1st April at 7pm, and anyone interested in helping out with this side of things is welcome to come along! We'd love to have more help. It's a local meeting, so just email me for more info at kerrianneo - at - yahoo.com.

Hi, we're now calling for submissions, as the form is up and ready to go. People are already busy signing up, so why don't you get in there early too and pay the early bird rate of £16 (payment received by 10th April)? Details on how to submit are on this page:

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Susan Price-Rajah was recently interviewed for the "My Bristol" column in the online magazine Bristol Property Live. In the article she tells us about her work, and why she loves Windmill Hill.

You can read the full column at the Bristol Property Live website or by going to the My Bristol page here on this website.

I've just sent out a round robin e-mail to all the other Bristol arts trails to see if any of them are interested in sharing ideas and experiences, while maintaining each trail's special identity. I await responses with interest

On Wednesday 16th February there was a meeting of the AOTH 2011 Committee. It was an excellent meeting and a lot of important plans were put in place for the coming year.

The most important event in the immediate future is the “Call For Artists” public meeting on Thursday 10th March at 6.45pm at The Victoria Park pub on Raymend Rd.

At this meeting, anybody who is interested in participating in any way in AOTH 2011 can come and talk to members of the committee and discuss what involvement you would like to have. However, if you cannot make this meeting, you can still participate by keeping an eye on this website, by contacting us directly or by filling in the online form. 

Flyers for the public meeting and to advertise the “call for artists” will be coming through your letterbox in the next week or so. There are two deadlines for signing up to participate. The first – April 10th - is an “early bird” deadline with a reduced rate of £16. The second – May 10th – is the final deadline to sign up at a rate of £19.

In the light of last year's success, we are considering holding an auction of artworks a couple of weeks before the Trail, in mid September. Please watch the website for more information.

We are again planning to hold workshops for anyone coming to the trail to join. 

If anyone has any ideas for other events, please contact the committee – especially if youcan put some time into organising your idea. 

One of the main events of the Trail is the musical performance at St Michael's church. This needs a lot of forward planning so we have already set the dates for AOTH 2012, which will take place on the weekend of 6th/7th October 2012.

Here is the first post of the new year. We are hoping to post regular updates about the planning for the next AOTH on 1st/2nd October. There is an enthusiastic group of people already working on it ,but we would welcome any new volunteers who wish to get involved. - Stephen Mason

One of the ways that we can fund the Art on the Hill is through some form of sponsorship either by becoming one of our principal sponsors for the event or taking out an advert in our Art on the Hill booklet.

If you know of a business that would be interested in taking part or even one of those businesses, contact us for more details at the Art on the Hill website (http://www.artonthehill.org.uk/contact.html).
