BUDDING artists are being invited to take part in a competition which is searching for new talent.
It is the second time that Bishop Auckland Discovery Centre has hosted the New Local Art competition, sponsored by Cameo Fine Art, in the town.
Those entering should have no experience of exhibiting their work, and can draw on a wide range of ideas for their entries.
A spokesman for the centre said: "We don't mind what you paint, how you paint or what you use, as long as you have had little or no experience of showing your work before.''
The idea of the exhibition, which takes place on August 30, is to show the wide cross-section of artists working in the County Durham area.
People should take their work along to the Discovery Centre, in Bishop Auckland Market Place, and the best ten artists will be chosen for the exhibition. To book an appointment contact James or Vicky on (01388) 662666
