Salopians have been urged to show their support for a popular Shropshire arts trail, as rising costs eat up the contingency budget.

But in order to facilitate the event, Shrewsbury Arts Trail is in need of £5,000 in donations to put towards its contingency, which is an essential part of their trail budget. "We are doing it for both artists and for the love of our community. It's the footfall that we bring in as well, it's not just the art organisations that benefit. This pulls them around businesses in the town."
Following on from the success of the Andrew Logan Sculpture Trail last year, which was enjoyed by thousands of visitors, this year will feature works by Salvador Dalí, loaned by The Dalí Universe AlP S.L, and Jacob Chandler.The sculpture trail, supported by Shrewsbury BID, will see Dalí`s famous five-metre tall ‘Surrealist Piano’ displayed outside Shrewsbury Castle.
There will be exhibitions across multiple venues including shopping centres, the town museum, coffee shops, art galleries and churches – and even the town park.
