A CALL is going out for artists to take part in a Christmas exhibition at a Ryedale stately home.

Nunnington Hall will be hosting its third “Art for Christmas” exhibition from Saturday, November 5.

Organisers say the show is a great platform for to show a mixed media of work covering local life, landscape, nature and wildlife.

Past exhibitions have included paintings, photography, wood carving and embroidery.

Each artist is welcome to submit up to three pieces for consideration and the staff and volunteers at Nunnington Hall will select around fifty final pieces for display.

Submissions close on Thursday, October 20 and artwork will need to be delivered by Sunday, October 30. Profits go towards the care of Nunnington Hall. For information contact Laura.Kennedy@nationaltrust.org.uk or 01439 748283.
