Back again due to popular demand, from the 9th of September to the 13th of November is Cumbrian Artist of the Year Exhibtion, at the Gallery at Rheged.
In association with Cumbrian Life, this years exhibition will display all the best pieces of art from throughout the year, made right here in Cumbria. Some amazing artists such as Conrad Atkinson, Margaret Harrison, Maddi Nicholson and Paul Scott will be showing some of their work at the Rheged this year. These artists are considered the best in the business in Cumbrian terms, meaning when it comes to the local area there are few who are producing work of their quality. Their works will be displayed alongside that of other artists in the community, who's outputs have been chosen by a panel of young judges aged between 16 and 24.
In addition to this tantalising exhibition will be a sculpture trail, the trail relates to the Rheged building itself and features 4 key pieces.
Any local artists can get involved and apply to have their works displayed, that is the beauty of this inclusive event.
