GAZETTE & HERALD: Art lovers are expected to flock to an exhibition at Hartham Park, near Corsham, next week.

The Bath-based Atrium Gallery, owned by Julia and Martin Tracy, has joined forces with the award-winning publishing house De Montfort Fine Art. They will be showing The Ultimate Art Collection, an exhibition of contemporary artwork on Thursday, from 6.30pm to 8pm.

The collection began life as a celebration of the best and most exciting artworks of the new Millennium. It features work by local, national and international artists, and guests can buy or order both original works and limited editions at the exhibition.

Weather permitting, it is intended that many of the exhibits will be arranged in the gardens of Hartham Park. A number of artists and sculptors will be present and wine and canaps will be served throughout the evening to the accompaniment of gentle jazz music.

The exhibition is open to all, and there is no charge. However, guests are recommended to register their attendance by calling Roz Golding at Hartham Park on (01249) 700000.
