Long Bennington artists to exhibit works in first ever Artists Open Door 2023

An art exhibition will see work displayed across different areas of a village.

The first ever Artists Open Door 2023 exhibition will see eight different artists display their works in four different locations in Long Bennington from Friday, September 8, until Sunday, September 10.

Artists featured in the exhibition include Mark Hodson, the organiser, Katie Hounsome, Kate Sell, Brian Adams, Creatively Reclaimed, Roger Lee, Carole Lee and AllyPallyArts.

Mark said: “The idea is to invite other artists to exhibit at locations in the village, so there is work which would not normally be exhibited locally.

“This is the first year, so I hope it generates interest from other artists who may want to take part.

“We can then promote one another and take a collaborative approach.”

Four of the artists including Mark, Brian, Roger and Carole, all live in Long Bennington.

Katie is Mark’s daughter, Kate has also exhibited with Mark and Creatively Reclaimed is the daughter of someone from the village as well.

AllyPallyArts is also Roger and Carole Lee’s daughter.
