NOTTS ART PAGES

Art & Craft in & around Nottinghamshire

The following is intended as a rough guide to the art and craft scene in Nottinghamshire, with a focus on the area in and around Newark-on-Trent (hence there is some overlap with Lincolnshire and Leicestershire). In addition, download our May-Jun 2012 newsletter, the 'NOTTS ART PAGES' (a pdf file of 271kB), for a roundup of arts and crafts exhibitions and events in the coming month throughout Nottinghamshire (& a bit beyond).
