Week returns for <strong>2024</strong><br />
Back for another year,<br />
the volunteers behind<br />
Penistone Arts Week<br />
have been hard at work<br />
organising yet another<br />
brilliant festival based<br />
around art, music,<br />
literature, drama and<br />
film.<br />
This year’s event will take<br />
place between Friday 15th and<br />
Sunday 25th March at various<br />
venues across Penistone and the<br />
surrounding villages.<br />

Grab your easel,<br />
paintbrushes and<br />
canvas, choose<br />
your favourite<br />

all day in the<br />
open air.<br />
”<br />
Penistone Arts Week belongs<br />
to the people of Penistone and<br />
celebrates local and national<br />
talented artists and creatives.<br />

churches.<br />
After the success of last year’s<br />
competition, where 60 people took<br />
part, the volunteers are bringing<br />
back the Landscape Artist of the<br />
Year award to close the festival.<br />
Grab your easel, paintbrushes<br />
and canvas, choose your favourite<br />
outdoor scene in Penistone, and get<br />
ready to paint all day in the open air.<br />

artworks to the High Street Gallery<br />
art trail.<br />
The festival is run solely by<br />
volunteers and is supported by Arts<br />
Council and Towngate Plc.<br />
