ART fans have until the weekend to enjoy a free exhibition which showcases the talent of local college students.

The exhibition has been assembled by Bishop Auckland College students for the Discovery Centre, in Grosvenor House, Market Place, Bishop Auckland, which is run by environmental group Groundwork West Durham.

The display includes paintings, drawings, photography, textiles and graphics from students' portfolios.

Claire Grey, assistant co-ordinator at the gallery, said: "The exhibition has been well received by visitors and comments in our visitors' book have been very complimentary. We hoped to give young people from the area the opportunity to showcase their talent, and it has proved very popular."

The display is open Thursday to Saturday, from 11am to 4pm.
