This month art lovers can take to the road to explore a wide variety of artists who all live and create in Swindon.

As part of the Swindon 175 celebrations the Made In Swindon Art Trail is a mix of artists exhibiting their work in various locations on the trail around the town.

There are 16 venues and 19 artists involved in the project. Some are well known names in the art world including Swindon's own Ken White who is best known for his murals scattered all over the world. His current work which is being snapped up in Bath and London is centred on his own experiences of "inside" Swindon railway workshops. The large canvas, vibrant oil paintings are of industrial landscapes and can be seen in the Marriott Hotel at the end of the trail.

Appropriate to the railway heritage of Swindon the trail kicks off at St Augustine's Church, which was one of the original railway workers' churches, built in the basilica style. The artist on show here is Fleur Kelly's tryptich paintings. The church also plays host to exhibitions by David Robinson and Mark Worrall.

David's work can also be found at the Steam Railway Museum with his exhibition Pobi y Tren/The Art of Commuting.

Mark too is displaying his collage works at Steam. It is a collage he created from train tickets.

Another of the town's better known artists is Tim Carroll who will be showcasing his 100 Views of Swindon at the Midcounties Co-operative. His display is of small on the spot observational drawings. Tim and David get together with a third illustrator Dona Bradley at the Community Centre in Christ Church for the exhibition called Colouring In Swindon.

David Beint who is better known for his work with the Red Arrows and aviation painting has a very different exhibition to his high flyers, hosted at Swindon Dance. It is a display of his works painted over the last 30 years, called Movement 2000. It was inspired by the movement of the Balkans but it resonates today with so many refugees and asylum seekers fleeing their war torn countries.

The town's art galleries are also included in the trail with the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery in Bath Road hosting Swindon in 175 Images exhibition and Artsite in Theatre Square showing Who Do We Think We Are? Postcards of Swindon.

A number of pubs are on the trail including Susan Carr at The Beehive with her show of oil paintings in and around Swindon and Terry Humphries' display, also in oils, but more architectural in subject. The Glue Pot has a showing from Ruth Wintle of fine pen and watercolours.

Swindon Artist Forum in the Brunel Centre is also joining in the trail and the new community mural at Cambria Bridge showing various people or events from the town's past. It was produced by The Visual Drop artists and the Railway Kids Youth Club.
