Helfa Gelf (English: Arts Trail) was the Welsh-language name for the largest open studio event in north Wales, with more than 300 artists. However, it is now defunct.[1][2] The annual art event was held every September starting in 2006, and extended over five counties of North Wales. The Art Trail combined over 100 artists[3] Open Studios and Artists Open Houses with events located all kinds of venues: studios, galleries, village halls and even garden sheds.
Although it was an independent body, it sought much external sponsorship, and was organised in co-operation with many bodies including county councils, the Arts Council of Wales, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Anglesey Arts Forum, Royal Cambrian Academy, Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw, Bodelwyddan Castle, Gwynedd Economic Partnership, Menter Môn and Cadwyn Clwyd.
