Summer Exhibition 2016
Summer is a time to appreciate the brilliance and diversity of the world around us... and at the Lawrence Batley Theatre this seems like the perfect opportunity to enjoy the creativity of visual artists living or working across Kirklees.
An "Open" exhibition, where anyone could take part and showcase up to 3 of their creations... (and we will be doing this again next year if you're feeling inspired!)
Meet all 29 artists and a tiny insight into what makes them tick! (If they are on the web... their name will go green when you "hover" over them - click to find out more)
