Ryde Arts Friday showcases work for sale by Isle of Wight artists

Ryde Arts has been doing a sterling job this year of supporting artists and creatives in the town.

Like many other sectors the Coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact, but the team at Ryde Arts has been there to help artists through all sorts of projects. But it doesn’t end there.

Keep your money on the Isle of Wight
It might be Black Friday across the Globe, but instead of giving your money to large multinational companies, why not and support Isle of Wight artists?

Ryde Arts highlight four Isle of Wight artists who have work for sale that might make the perfect Christmas present for a loved one.

It’s a great way to keep your hard earned cash on the Isle of Wight, circulating in our economy.

Wheeler: Support Ryde Arts Friday
Abi Wheeler, Creative Director, Ryde Arts says,

“This year we featured a social media campaign #WeAreRydeArts showcasing some of the amazing projects and talented artists that Ryde Arts have worked with over the years. 

“So, on this Black Friday, we thought we would encourage you to support Ryde Arts Friday – featuring a small selection of totally unique artworks from inspirational artists who have given so much to our community over the years.”
