“Due to the fantastic response from more than 800 visitors to the first exhibition last year, it has been extended to three days this year – September 14, 15 and 16, open daily, 10am-4.30pm, free admission.
“Many of last year’s artists are returning but some new ones will be joining them. The works will in-clude an exciting mix of land art installation, oils, watercolours, printmaking, illustration, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, sculpture and photography.
“The artists will respond to the theme of St Hubert’s Idsworth, inspired by the heritage and the South Downs landscape. Many of the artists involved have won recognition for their work. All their works are for sale with a wide range of prices. Many of the artists will be on hand to meet visitors and explain their working methods. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the best artists working in this region.”
The venue is St Hubert’s Church, near Finchdean, PO8 0BA
