A SUCCESSFUL opening party was held at The Bigger Picture Gallery, on Crediton High Street, on Saturday, August 11 to celebrate a group of talented artists who got together to create a new exhibition of vibrant art entitled "Summer Breeze".

In response to the many requests from visitors to the Open Studios for the event to be extended, the common thread uniting this special show of textiles, wall art and ceramics is colour - Life affirming, invigorating and uplifting colour.

Opened on August 1, "Summer Breeze" will run until the end of September and, exceptionally, the Gallery will be open from Monday to Saturday, from 11am to 4pm The exhibition will feature the work of four resident artists, Jan Bickerton, Girts Gailans, Rebecca Holley, Tim Salter and a carousel of guest artists.
