Hexham Abbey plays host to the annual 'Artists in the Abbey' exhibition this month, featuring a colourful display of local talent.
The event brings together a variety of artists, including woven textile artist Jill Dexter, painter Claire Myers, painter and printmaker Lindsey Cooper, landscape photographer and writer David Taylor, craft bookbinder Tania Taylor and designer-maker and textile artist Susan Gallagher.
The artists, who reunite under the Artists in the Abbey banner, will display their work in the North Transept.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see new works being created, and to discuss with the artists the inspiration behind their pieces.
David Taylor said: "We always look forward to coming together for this special event, and we’re delighted that this year there will be six of us together for the first time ever.
"It is such a pleasure to welcome visitors, and to share with them the joy we experience in creating our work.
"The Abbey is a particularly inspiring setting, and we feel very privileged to be able to exhibit there.”
The exhibition starts July 8 and runs until July 20.
The artists will be present daily between 10am to 4pm, subject to Abbey opening hours and services.
