PACE property professionals in Southchurch Road, Southend are delighted as Key Sponsor, to fully support and promote the 2011 Leigh Art Trail which launches on Saturday 11th and runs until Saturday 18th June. Leigh on Sea has a rich history and impressive density of talented artists and draws visitors and art enthusiasts from around the county. PACE jumped at the opportunity to lend their support and encourage art for the home and the community. 

"I'm truly delighted to sponsor this year's Leigh Art Trail" said PACE Managing Director Crystal Horwood. " Arts Funding is always hard won and we are very proud to be able to offer some level of support - not just financially, but in promoting visitors to our town for another successful and memorable Trail." 

Crystal goes on to acknowledge that "whilst the public may not naturally associate Lettings & Property Management as perhaps the most obvious partner to the arts, she feels it "strongly reflects their company ethos of reaching out to the public to provide 'A Fresh Approach'. 

Their sponsorship coincides with an exciting phase in the company's history as PACE have just launched a striking new brand identity. Crystal's sought a company whose artistic abilities and creative strengths were coupled with a clear understanding of their industry. Their entire re-brand - logo redesign, sale boards, fascias, website, advertising and company literature was awarded to Leigh-on-Sea design agency Shout Media headed by designer Simon Fowler. Working closely with Crystal throughout the creative process, Shout redefined the PACE brand with warm and vibrant colours to reflect and enhance their highly professional but welcoming approach. 

Crystal wishes the organisers of the Art Trail "every success in attracting art enthusiasts from around the county. Having spent the last few months entrenched in the creative process myself, I've had a small insight and feel I share a little more affinity with the artists!"
