Art Walks are very special indeed, and were invented by Mandy Pearks, artist, fellow member of Camera Culture Manchester....

The first time I went on one, was a while back when I discovered that it's ok to go and be creative in the countryside or in fact in any setting, you just need to be given a good excuse and have some friends around you ... 

The difference between an art walk and a photography meet up is that some form of drawing, sketching and painting may take place as well as photography. Its not compulsory and usually only happens occasionally in the summer months when the weather is good, and not too cold to stay still !

photography can also inspire further art work

Art Walks happen monthly,the date of the next one is on the diary page. See the Camera Culture Events Gallery for some images of an art walk to Alderley Edge
