All good things must come to an end. Thankfully, we can all look forward to a bigger and longer art trail next year. This years trail has been greater than any of our expectations. The feedback from our artists, venues and businesses has been very positive. Businesses who haven't taken part this year are now coming forward asking to be a venue next year...including some very big retail chains. Members of the public are returning to the information points (after completing the trail) and saying how pleased they are that something like this is being done in the district. Other people are saying its great to see the area get away from the negative press thats often associated with the district. All positive stuff!!!
Without sounding too much like an Oscars speech, we would like to thank the following........
Eastgate Management, Essex Council, The Business Association, Essex Summer Of Art, Barleylands, Ambatex, Nandos Chicken, BBC Essex, Leona Murray, Echo, Basildon Council and YA.
The following people/ businesses for taking part in the Basildon Art residency project.....
Ernest Jones, McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks, Basildon Police, River Island, Vodaphone, Morellis, Nandos, Kayzar, Build-a-bear, Eastgate Security and Cleaning teams, Republic, the Ice Cream Stand, Hotshots Barbers, Giardino, The 99p Store, Gateway FM, the British entry to Eurovision 2010, McMillan Cancer Trust assistants and Millhouse Infant School
A huge thank you to all the artists, committee members, supporters, sponsors, venues and businesses who took part and made this years event as successful as it was.
