ENTRY TO THE EXHIBITION IS FREE – everyone welcome
The fascinating 15th Century Manor House at Blackmore Farm near Cannington makes an unusual and challenging setting for an art exhibition. Building on the success of the exhibition over the last three years the artists of Gallery 4 Art will be displaying a diverse and colourful collection of work in this years exhibition. Saturday 1st March is workshop day and details of workshops available are listed below.
There is no charge for visiting the exhibition and it is a great opportunity to meet the artists, view their latest work at the start of the season and purchase unique pieces of contemporary art in a relaxed environment. The Manor House is not generally open to the public and this is one of the rare occasions during the year to visit this historic property. If you would like more details about the exhibition please email info@gallery4art.co.uk or telephone 01984 623357.
