The Waveney Springs Art Trail 2010
The Closer You Get Diss Appears

Quotes of Support

“Tell those who doubt the value of the Waveney Springs Art Collective, that I don’t know why art is necessary – only that it is.
All who in the 1940’s braved bombs to see one painting in the National Gallery knew it too.”
Brian Sewell Art Critic, Sunday 04 April 2010

"I whole heartedly support the Waveney Springs art trail and the local shops collaborating with local artists. It's a fact that as I get closer, Diss appears. Art - purely life. No art, no life!"
Rick Wakeman, musician, local resident, Friday 30 July 2010

“The Waveney Springs Art Trail 2010 is an excellent collaboration between local shops and artists which will help increase awareness of art in everyday life. I congratulate the members of the Waveney Springs Art Collective for bringing this exciting event to Diss and the Waveney Valley.”
Richard Bacon MP South Norfolk, Saturday 31 July 2010

"Art and culture are certainly on a high in Norfolk - and the Waveney Valley is no exception. I will certainly be on the trail through September and I hope Diss appears as I get closer!"
Daniel Cox, Leader of Norfolk County Council Wednesday 04 August 2010

“It is great to see the Waveney Springs art trail collaboration of local artists and shops. It’s an imaginative and fun way of benefiting artists, shops and most importantly local people. Communities are about bringing people together and this project does that. People need services but they also need to be inspired and that’s a role art can play.”
Jon Clemo, Chief Executive, Norfolk Rural Community Council 06 August 2010

“As a business in Diss, any initiative that brings people into the town centre is to be welcomed. When that initiative involves art from local artists it becomes really easy to support and we give it our full backing. Throughout September, we look forward to seeing the perfect partnership of a great town centre showcasing great local art.”
Edward Nottingham, Director, Merrick Hill Insurance
Diss Business Forum committee member 09 August 2010

“I think this is an absolutely marvellous idea, putting art in the shop windows of Diss - I love it! And I love the idea that the closer you get Diss appears. Wonderful.”
