A fine show for Belle Vue Arts Festival

The exhibition, at the English Bridge Workshop, forms part of the Belle Vue Arts Festival in Shrewsbury.

Local artist and chairman of the Belle Vue Arts Festival Tony Sharpe said: "This year's spread of artists and photographers is truly stunning.

"It is a great opportunity to come and see the talent that abounds within the Belle Vue area, and also to purchase some fabulous pieces of art."

Work from an award-winning Shropshire photographer who died earlier this year at the age of 52 has also gone on display in Shrewsbury as part of the festival.

A selection of prints by Danny Beath, one of the county's best-loved photographers, are at the English Bridge Workshop in Coleham Head.

In addition to Dr Beath's work, the exhibition also features work by competition entrants who have created images along the festival's theme of X.

Dr Beath died in January after collapsing in the road outside his house in New Street, Shrewsbury.

He won Shropshire Photographic Society's Photographer of the Year nine times and had also recently been named as the winner of the Sunday Times annual landscape photography competition.

The exhibition will run until Saturday and is open to the public between 10am and 4pm.
