Artists are being urged to display their work at an annual showcase exhibition.

The Wantage Open Art Exhibition at the town's Vale and Downland Museum offers artists of all abilities the opportunity to exhibit and sell samples of their work.

The exhibition is expected to feature a range of oils, acrylics, needlework, sculpture and ceramics.

Museum administrator Sue Mann said: "The show is designed for local artists to display their work and sell it if they want to. People without enough work or confidence to stage their own shows are welcome to join in."

The show runs from December 5 to January 14. Exhibitors are invited to enter up to three pieces, at a hanging fee of 5 per item, which goes towards museum funds. Interested artists should contact the museum on 01235 764258 before Wednesday, November 22. I
