Celebrating Creativity of the Forest of Dean
The Dean Heritage Centre (DHC) will once again showcase the work of local artists in their renowned annual community art exhibition. The DHC is asking artists from the Forest of Dean to submit a piece for their annual community art exhibition.
The 2016 exhibition will run from Saturday 26th November until Sunday 8th January 2017. This event is the perfect opportunity and platform for local artists and creatives to exhibit work in a shared exhibition and reach new audiences. The community art exhibition has been a launch pad for solo exhibitions at the Centre for both established exhibitors and aspiring artists. Could this exhibition be the rocket that launches your artistic talents out into the Dean and beyond?
Artwork in any medium will be considered, all work must be submitted mounted with mirror plates so it can be securely fitted to a wall.
