A time for tea - the kind of art in the exhibition

Southport Palette Club's 85th exhibition is to have a temporary new home in the Ballroom at Bootle Town Hall from Wednesday 3rd March, while the Atkinson Art Gallery is closed for re-development.

Entracne to the exhibition is free and it runs until Tuesday 23rd March from Monday to Friday with a special free preview on the opening day between 10 am and 12 noon.

Nicola Jones, Museums and Galleries Officer said: "It may be in a new home temporarily, but it is still the fantastic showcase of local artists that it always has been and a great opportunity to purchase high quality art from local artists at affordable prices".

The huge refurbishment project is re-developing Southport Arts Centre, Atkinson Art Gallery and Southport Library into a regional state of the art Cultural Centre, set to re-open in 2013.
