Sewell claims the Bath and North East Somerset Council’s gallery art collection in Bridge Street has a value in excess of £10million. The BBC regional news magazine programme ‘Inside Out West’ found councils in Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire owned 40,506 artworks worth more than £48million in total – with 79 per cent currently in storage. Bristol City Council declined to reveal any statistics. Bath and North East Somerset expects to shed around 300 jobs to save money in the next three years – it said its acquisition and disposal policy was in line with national best practice and that selling off art work risked breaching public trust and losing the ability to claim official grants. 12 November 2010 - Bath Art Galleries Group In recognition of the burgeoning appeal of its art scene, the Bath Galleries Group is hosting a celebratory week of exhibitions, between 12 and 21 November 2010, offering visitors the chance to see all the Bath galleries in the space of a few days and evenings, looking their very best. 29 October 2010 - Illuminate Bath Festival From 1-13 November over 50 artists from Bath School of Design and Art are involved in Illuminate Bath a vibrant eclectic festival programme.
