PREPARATIONS are under way for the 32nd annual Ryedale Open Art Exhibition.
Hundreds of local artists will exhibit everything from paintings to sculptures - and the organisers are currently looking for new artists who would like to show, or even sell, their work.
"Every year we get hundreds of wonderful entries but we are always looking for new artists", said organiser Yvette Turnbull.
"Perhaps people who are new to the area, or maybe those who have never really had the confidence to exhibit before.
"The whole point of this exhibition is that it is for everyone – we show work in all styles and all media."
The exhibition, held at the Milton Rooms in Malton, opens on July 25 and the closing date for entry forms is 26th June. Application packs can be requested by phoning 01653 600666 extension 241 and leaving your name and address or by emailing yvette.turnbull@ryedale.gov.uk
