'Colour and Form' is our new exhibition which opens this Saturday, 7 October, at 11.00. It would be great if you can make it for wine and refreshments and some inspirational new work. If you can't make Saturday, the exhibition runs until 5 November and we're open every day except Monday.
We asked the artist Val Hudson to curate the show and she has chosen many artists who we are showing for the first time. There are several artists local to Derbyshire and others much further afield.
