Featured Artist – Viewpoints
There is no featured artist this month, but the members of Interface Arts would like to welcome you to our winter exhibition “Viewpoints” to be held at the Greenfield Arts 2 November – 20 December 2017.
Our work covers fine art, printmaking, photography, textiles, glass and ceramics. This exhibition is the resulting body of work inspired by a number of drawing days in gardens around the North East.
Further details including opening times and directions can be found at: http://www.greenfield-arts.co.uk/visit-us

Each member is entitled to their own micro-site, onto which you can load your contact details, eight images of your work and information about your work as an artist.
