The main exhibition and demonstrations will be taking place at North Kesteven District Council Civic Suite, off Eastgate in Sleaford, from 10am to 4pm each day.

It looks like being another bumper year for variety of artwork on show -the exhibition will include work using oils, watercolours, acrylics, gesso, pen and ink and pastels.

The ever popular Art Event Challenge will take place on the Saturday, where artists have the chance to interpret a still life scene set at the Art Event by members of Sleaford Little theatre and the results of the competing artists' efforts will be on display and voted for by visitors to the show, with a trophy presented to the winning artist at the end of the weekend.

Several artists have sent in their paintings on postcards, sponsored by Phoenix Art and Craft. These will be on sale anonymously at the event with part of the proceeds going to a local charity. Chose the painting you like and it might turn out to be worth far more in future.

During both days, there will be demonstrations by Michael Webster, Paul Howard and Peter Hayward.

Featured artists this year are Ian Cox, Malcolm Doughty, Mike Webster and Peter Hayward.

Artists Andy Lenton, Roger Curnow and Alan Drury will have stands in the main hall as well as artists' materials for sale.

Refreshments and a full catalogue of the exhibition will be available.
