Shropshire Hills Art Week 2017 has just ended and it was a real success!

• Visitor figures and sales were up again in 2017 for the fourth year running. We recorded over 4400 visits, and sold close to £40,000 of art!
• The number of visitors who came from outside the area and stayed locally was up
• The number of people who chose to visit and stay in Shropshire during Shropshire Hills Art Week specifically was up
• Artist satisfaction is increasing year on year, and was its highest ever this year
• The number of artists requesting information in the immediate aftermath of the 2017 event for participating in 2018 is up
• Participation and engagement with the Shropshire Hills Art Week is increasing year on year
• And more other local businesses are benefiting from Art Week-related sales, whether it’s bed and breakfast, or pub lunches, tea and cakes, or gift shops
