Burnham-On-Sea
artists to exhibit their work at Somerset Arts Week
 Seven
Burnham-On-Sea artists will be joining more than 750 artists from
across the county in exhibiting their work during Somerset Art
Week (SAW) this September.
Judith
Champion, Linda Gee, Mary Stradling, Sharon Campbell, Jan Olive,
Angela Uren and Roy Wallis will all be showing their work at The
Piggery, Middle Burnham Farm in Stoddens Lane between
September 9th and 24th.
The
annual event involves over 360 venues - from studios and galleries
to homes and garden sheds - showcasing the work of artists and
makers including painters, sculptors, potters, photographers and
jewellers.
Burnham-based
Judith Champion, a local artist and SAW organiser, told Burnham-On-Sea.com:
"Somerset Art Week is an important event for artists and
makers across the county. People come from far and wide to see
us at work, in galleries, in our studios and homes. It is a wonderful
opportunity to talk about what we do, and sometimes we even manage
to sell a few pieces or take commissions!"
 Kevin
McCloud, best known for his Channel 4 series 'Grand Designs',
is patron of SAW. He added: "This year Somerset Arts Week
is bigger and better than ever. That's because there are more
artists - 750 of them - working in all kinds of places, from palaces
to piggeries, but also because so many projects this year extend
out of the studio into the community and countryside."

Art Weeks see the web
site or pick up a guide from Burnham's library or tourist
information centre.
Somerset
Art Week is supported by Somerset County Council, Sedgemoor, South
Somerset, Mendip, Taunton Deane District Councils and Artlife.
