Mildenhall Art Trail

For over two weeks, Mildenhall was transformed into an open-air gallery during the ‘Look Up to the Skies’ Art Trail.

The trail featured 50 works of art, created by Mildenhall residents during Art Road Trip; a MarketPlace project in partnership with The National Gallery and Mildenhall Museum celebrating the 90th anniversary of The Great Air Race from Mildenhall to Melbourne in 1934.

There were artworks created by the local community in five different locations around Mildenhall such as collage, painting and Van Gogh inspired pieces.

Community launch – the community launch event was held where goodies were handed out to walkers who completed the trail. MarketPlace met with members of the Mildenhall community and local residents to share ideas about future creative projects.

Visitors were able to take a closer look at the buildings and locations, immerse themselves in art, and uncover fascinating facts about The Great Air Race along the way.

“We’ve really enjoyed the trail and the kids have really enjoyed it as well. It’s been nice to have the map to see where we need to go. The artwork has been lovely to look at and the historical pieces of information along the way have been really good to learn about.”

MarketPlace expressed gratitude to Mildenhall Museum, the National Gallery, and all of the brilliant artists who created the artwork that was discovered during the trail.

“I was excited to find that it was happening on our doorstep”
