Artists get together to stage spring exhibition in Oswestry
Artists living in the Oswestry and Welsh border area are exhibiting their work in the town.
The Borderland Visual Arts Group has an exhibition in the Willow Gallery until March 15.
Many of the 60-plus members of the group have work on display, ranging from paintings and textiles to metalwork and sculpture.
The BVA was set up in 1999 to provide an informal network offering support and information to artists living in and around Oswestry.
It holds regular meetings and puts on several annual events.
"There are currently members working in disciplines including painting, textiles, sculpture, photography, woodcarving, glass, pottery and printmaking," s spokesperson said.
"The major event is usually in June, but the pandemic prevented this in 2021."
Members also have solo shows and every month there is a display in dedicated space at Oswestry Library.
Running through February in the library is an exhibition of work by Andrew McConnach.
Andrew studied for his BA in Painting at St Martins School of Art, London and gained his MA in Fine Art Printmaking at the University of Brighton, East Sussex.
He is inspired by the mandala – a symbol that has been used in meditation, protection and healing in many world cultures throughout history - and first began on his path whilst living in north Wales in the 1990s.
