Meet the Artist event

Talented Manx Artists will be showing visitors the secrets of their creative skills at their annual exhibition this weekend.

Mannin Art Group is extending its traditional 'Meet the Artist' event in Ramsey over two days, offering visitors plenty of opportunity to see artists in different media - from pastels and watercolours to silk painting and ceramics.

It means visitors can find out what inspired the artist who created the work they're looking at - and how they did it.

Proceeds from artworks sold will be donated to the Island's Macular Disease Society, as several members suffer from the condition.

Mannin Art Group's Jean Buck says it's proved a very popular event:

The event is at St Paul's Hall in Ramsey on Saturday 10 - 5pm and Sunday 12,30 - 5pm.

Admission's free.
