Borderland Visual Arts is a network of artists from Oswestry and the surrounding borderlands which holds regular exhibitions and open studio events throughout the year.
This year, BVA artists are opening their studios for an Arts Trail in and around Oswestry over two weekends in June.
Alison Holt, one of the exhibiting artists added: “The BVA are really excited to be showcasing our work in such a beautiful, purpose-built, exhibition space in the heart of Shrewsbury.
“We are very lucky to have such a varied network of artists all producing artwork of a very high standard”
The Gateway Gallery has a superb reputation for showcasing contemporary works and is a fantastic space for artists to promote their art in a central location.
The gallery is located within the Gateway Centre which is completely accessible and hosts a very good café serving hot and cold food and drinks daily, overlooking the River Servern.
Emma continued: “The Gateway Gallery is a fantastic space for artists to exhibit their work.
“It is a purpose-built gallery with the aim of supporting local artists.
