Two popular art groups are coming together to present a joint exhibition of their work.

Plain Arts and Salisbury Group of Artists will be showcasing more than 100 original artworks at Gallery 4 in the Central Library, Salisbury, from April 5 to April 30.

The exhibition will feature ceramics, sculptures and paintings in various styles and media.

Smaller, affordable artworks will also be available for purchase.

Both groups have seen a rise in membership since Covid, as more people have discovered the joys of creating art.

Helen Southwell, chair of Plain Arts, said: “We now know just how important it can be for our personal wellbeing.”

Martin Webster from Salisbury Group of Artists added: “It would be great if our work inspires visitors to consider if it is something they too might enjoy.”

The exhibition will open with a special viewing on Friday, April 4 from 6pm to 7pm.

Annie George, who is curating the exhibition, said: “This is a chance to meet some of the artists who have contributed work – and to be amongst the first to see the new exhibition and perhaps snap up a picture or other form of artwork before anyone else.”

Entry is free and fully accessible during library opening hours.
