A group of artists is hosting a new exhibition at its Accrington town centre gallery.

The Art On Broadway group, made up of 10 artists from Hyndburn and the surrounding areas, will display its work at a special preview evening on Friday, June 19.

The artists include Johnny Berthol, Stan Harland, Heather Ashton Rowell, Simon Dawson, Sandra Ruane, Louise Hornby, Jenine Wilkinson, Patricia Ramsden, Leslie Johnson and Paddy Campbell.

Heather said they were formed in March this year under the umbrella of East Street Arts, an organisation based in Leeds that works with artists and landlords to help ‘bring colour and energy’ to empty shops and properties.

The group meets every month and will hold regular temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Heather said: “The work on show is as individual as the artists themselves with an exciting array of artworks including paintings, textiles and installations.

“The group welcome visitors on openings days, Friday and Saturday every week.

“The artists are in situ on these days and love to engage with the public discussing their work.”
