A call is going to people of all ages to submit pieces for Brightlingsea WinterFest’s open art exhibition in the town’s museum.

The exhibition is being organised by artist Becky Jackson, a member of the WinterFest volunteer crew, and aims to highlight the wealth of creative talent in Brightlingsea.

“WinterFest’s theme for this year is The Next Wave, as the festival enters its second decade,” said Becky.”The exhibition will take this theme as its inspiration and we would love people to depict Brightlingsea, our hopes, dreams, our future and also create work featuring the sea.”

She added: “We welcome people and groups of all ages and all abilities to take part in what will be a special open exhibition. Arts and crafts in all media will be featured, up to A4 size.”

The exhibition runs over two weekends – January 31 and February 1, and February 7 & 8 – from 10am to 3.30pm. The cost of exhibiting is £3 for adults, children can enter free. Work can  be delivered to Brightlingsea Museum in Station Road on Saturday January 24 or Tuesday January 27 between 10 am and 12.30pm.
