AN exhibition by some of the North-East's most talented artists will be opened in the region next week.

The People Show, with the theme of making art out of people, is returning to the University Gallery at the University of Northumbria with paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints, photography, sculpture and film.

Open from January 21 to February 18, the gallery's first major exhibition following its recent refurbishment has been devised and sponsored by advertising agency, Cravens.

The most inspiring and striking works of art, selected by a panel of judges from the world of art, industry and communications, will be recognised with a series of prizes, including a photography prize and a student award.
