THE Art in the Garden exhibition at Durham City's Crook Hall is about to start.

Now in its fifth year, the exhibition will feature 18 artists from throughout the country, including David Gross who will once again present his large wooden sculptures.

Priscilla Day will transform junk by painting it with images.

They will be joined by artists showing their work for the first time, including Simone Lyon, from Edinburgh, who specialises in stoneware ceramics, stone sculptors Dennis Kilgallan and David Edwick and Jim Roberts, who sculpts in steel.

Glass exhibits will be presented by Anthony Pollock and Phillipa Lee.

The art will be displayed in Crook Hall's gardens and the exhibition runs throughout August, each day except Sunday, between 1pm and 5pm.
