A new art exhibition featuring over 40 local artists, art groups, and schools will launch at St Francis Church in Welwyn Garden City from September 26 to 28. Visitors can view and purchase artwork, with refreshments available; admission is £3.50 (free for under-18s), and proceeds will be shared between St Francis Church and Isabel Hospice.
This event matters because it highlights grassroots community engagement with the visual arts, providing a platform for local creative talent while supporting a charitable cause. It reflects the role of local institutions in fostering cultural participation outside major metropolitan art hubs.
