A UNIVERSITY'S annual summer exhibition of small works has attracted a mammoth number of entries this year.
The Northumbria University Gallery, in Newcastle, is featuring a record 624 paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures, all measuring less than 10cm by 10cm.
A gallery spokesman said: "Launched in 1978, artists nationally have responded enthusiastically to this challenge by producing intimate and highly covetable miniature works of art of outstanding quality.
"Not surprisingly, the public's enjoyment of this serendipitous event continues to attract ever increasing numbers of participants, visitors and buyers."
The exhibition is widely acknowledged as the showcase for emerging artists. It is open from 10am to 5pm from Monday to Friday, until August 24. Entry is free
