TALENTED community artists have interpreted the Durham landscape in sight and sound for a display at the Bishop Auckland Discovery Centre.

The exhibition rounds off a successful Year of the Artist project for the Jack Drum group, which got 1,000 people involved in arts and crafts activities.

County Durham's three rivers, the Wear, Tees and Derwent, were the theme for the project and the exhibition, which was visited by members of the Bishop Auckland Evergreens Club for over-50s yesterday.

Musician Paddy Burton built a sound sculpture for the display, so that up to five people at a time can make music using aluminium and cherry wood.

Simon Pell's collection of ten abstract oil paintings feature river scenes, including six which trace the River Tees from source to sea.

Forty short poems by Julie Ward, written about places in Durham, are mounted on relevant sections of a county map.

The exhibition runs until June 23 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 11am to 4pm. Admission is free.
