AN EXHIBITION will present the work of 29 students at a contemporary art gallery next month.
Enrique Azocar, a professional artist who runs The Art Studio in Hexham, and retired doctor and painter Adrian Morley decided to promote the arts in Northumberland through a display of students' work.
An exhibition titled The Art Studio Alumni Exhibition On Show 2023 will present the work of 29 students at the Wall North Contemporary Gallery in Hexham.
The display will include works on pastel, oil and acrylic media.
An opening evening will take place on September 29 from 6pm-8pm, before the exhibition on September 30 and October 1 from 11am-5pm and October 2 and 3 from 11am-5pm.
Enrique said: "I teach students through both one-to-one sessions and in communal art classes at the studio. I love teaching, it is very rewarding because it allows me the chance to see how each individual student develops their style, techniques and creativity through their time learning.”
The Art Studio will begin working in partnership with established and professional art galleries in Northumberland including The Bellwether Gallery and The Gallery in the Hills, with directors Julian Morrison-Bell and Dennis Kilgallon respectively.
"We hope to bring more good art business to the region and give even more opportunities to local emerging artists too," Enrique added.
