A bookshop in Wiltshire is unveiling an art exhibition to celebrate culture and talent.

The White Horse Bookshop, on Marlborough High Street, is an independent bookshop that was founded over 75 years ago and stocks around 18,000 books, including special editions. 

This is the seventh year for the open art exhibition and it will run until Saturday, June 1. 

Bookshop manager Angus said: "Last year there were 110 submissions and this year we've received 150, so it's grown considerably.

The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald: The White Horse Bookshop will be hosting a free art exhibition to celebrate local talent

"It's open to all and anything that is submitted goes on the wall. Nobody decides if a piece of artwork is good or bad, so it gives people who wouldn't normally have their work displayed the opportunity to come and see their art on the wall of a gallery.

"It's fantastic. As it's open to amateurs and professionals it's interesting to see how people interpret the world and different ideas and techniques from people who live round here. You never know what people can do. 

"Everyone loves it and I'm glad they do, because we love it too."

The exhibition is free to visit during bookshop opening hours, from Monday to Saturday 9am to 5:30pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm.
