Artists are being sought by a charity to help support a fundraising art exhibition.

Ayrshire charity, Hansel, is looking for artists to support the forthcoming event which will be held from Thursday, June 13 to Sunday, June 16 at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.

The Little Paintings Exhibition and Sale has been held annually since 2008 raising £125,000 for the charity and sees over 50 artists take part. It has attracted support from around Scotland including established artists Gerard M. Burns, James S Davis and Lin Pattullo.

Agnes Paton, fundraising and communications manager, said: “We’ve had some terrific artists lend their support over the years, both amateur as well as more established names, and we’re keen to hear from any artists who might be willing to support this year’s exhibition.

“It’s a great opportunity for the public to buy a unique piece of artwork as well as support a worthwhile cause.

“We’re celebrating our 11th anniversary this year, which shows just how popular it is.”
