Tameside's budding artists can now see their work on public display at the borough’s annual primary schools art exhibition.

The month-long event is an exciting and essential part of the Astley Cheetham Art Gallery’s calendar.

Children are very intuitive in their art making and this exhibition demonstrates their spontaneity and expression in early art making. The gallery, on Trinity Street, Stalybridge, is alive with some of the most exciting art works from the borough’s five to 11-year-olds.

Cllr Jackie Lane, Assistant Executive Member for Heritage and Culture, said: “There is some absolutely splendid work on show. I know there will be a lot of very proud parents but the exhibition really is worth taking a look at.”

Media are invited to the awards ceremony on Friday, 24 February, 4 to 5pm.
