ART work is invited from people in Wotton-under-Edge and the surrounding communities - and it only has to be the size of a postcard.

Organiser Rob Collins, for Under the Edge Arts, said: "The idea for this project came from the Royal Academy of Art in London, where an anonymous exhibition was held - people didn't know if the works of art they liked were by famous artists or students.

"So, whoever you are, you're welcome to contribute, and everyone's work will be shown together."

This is the second year the arts centre in Wotton will be holding a Postcard Exhibition.

The initial event was very popular, raising more than £900 for the centre and attracting a large number of contributors and visitors.

Rob said: "Many people said they would have liked to submit a piece of postcard sized art but didn't get round to it - well, now's your chance!"

Artworks from people of all ages and abilities will be welcomed and exhibited. People can use any materials and processes (photography, collage, painting, drawing, embroidery, textiles etc.) and any subject matter .

The size must be no bigger than 10cm x 15cm.

The work should not be framed or mounted; and a title can be added to the front, but artists' names must be put on the back only.

All works will be offered for sale at modest prices to raise funds for Under the Edge Arts.

Entries should be handed in to Rob Collins at 4 Parklands, Wotton, by Thursday, February 4.

The exhibition takes place , between 12 noon and 5pm, during the weekend of February 5 and February 6 - it will be held at the Coombe Suite, Wotton Civic Centre , due to the building works in progress at the arts centre.

Rob Collins said: "We are looking forward to another exciting community event."
