UP to 40 artists are expected to display their skills at a free exhibition, in Easingwold.

Sculpture, painting, glassware, pottery and textile work will be on show at the town's Galtres Centre later this month.

The exhibition will also allow youngsters to make their mark. Connecting Youth Culture is running workshops to help teenagers create a graffiti mural and young children will be able to decorate ceramic mugs

Hambleton District Council's arts development officer, Kate Staines, said: "The event is attracting some very well known local artists. Landscape painter Debbie Loane, rug maker Sally Coomer and fused glass specialist Steve Collins, will be among the 40 exhibitors.

"They are already very well known regionally and internationally so we are delighted they are showing their work in Easingwold."

The exhibition will be open from 10am until 5pm, on March 27 and 28.
