Saturday 3rd of July 2010 was the preview day for our artists' exhibition. This annual event is from 4th to 10th July from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm in the Community Centre, Ratcliffe Road, (the old A69) in the centre of the village.
There is a wealth of talent on show from our regulars, photographers, Shaftoe School students and a new video art feature.
Shaftoe School students recently excelled by winning a coveted Arts Council England 'Artsmark' Gold in recognition of the commitment of the school in art education.
The exhibition is free to visit so don't miss this.
To gain a flavour of the event, here are a few photographs to scroll through.
