After a two year hiatus, art will once again hang on the walls of the Bainton Gallery at Blyth Memorial Hall.

The art at the Blyth Festival Art Gallery is to complement the four plays presented by the Theatre Festival on its outdoor Harvest Stage.

The summer's Community Art Show will run from June 1 to September 24.

President of the Gallery Committee, Carl Stevenson, says art needs to be felt to be experienced, to be emotionally connected to the viewer.

Area artists interested in participating in the non-juried exhibition can get more information by accessing the Gallery’s Facebook page, or email blythfestivalartgallery@gmail.com.

All of the art showcased will be available for purchase.
