VICTORIA MILL ARTS CENTRE.
The exhibition will showcase the creations of artists within three categories- Adult, Student and 16 years and under. There will be prizes for each category and a prize for the Public’s Choice. This is a great opportunity for professional and amateur artists to come together and present a stunning exhibition So, if you're an artist please do consider submitting up to three of your works - including paintings, sculpture, ceramics. We are looking for originality, quality and the unusual. The Victoria Mill Arts Centre will be accepting submissions during the week 26th April 2010 to 4th Tuesday May 2010, so you have plenty of time to create something new.
There will be a grand Private view for selected artists, their families and friends on Friday 7th May 2010.
