Art and Soul, a group of amateur artists formed a year ago in Furness, is holding its first public exhibition this weekend.

Art and Soul, a group of amateur artists in Furness, is holding its first public exhibition this weekend at Buccleuch Village Hall in Lindal-in-Furness on Sunday, October 18 between 10am and 3pm, marking the group's first birthday.

The group was formed a year ago by local artist Diane Rixom to give amateur artists around the peninsula space and opportunity to grow their talents. Members meet every week to show their latest creations, test out new skills, and trade advice to further develop their abilities. The skills of the artists range from beginners to more experienced practitioners.

Members will display work using watercolours, acrylics, charcoal, and pens and pencils. A spokesperson said: "Visitors are invited to pop in for a cup of tea or coffee and cake, have a chat with the artists, relax, and enjoy their artwork." Among the exhibits is a Ziggy Stardust image as a tribute to David Bowie's work as an accomplished artist. The exhibition is free to attend and the group encourages members of the community to visit.
