Call for artists who deliver classes

The Upstairs Gallery in Beccles has a new mission this month.

On coming in to the gallery its not just purchasing arts and crafts that their customers want. Its advice and ideas too. The Upstairs Gallery has found that many want to do art classes in the New Year.

If you are an artist or can recommend and art class or group near you, could you please email the gallery on info@theupstairsgallery.co.uk with subject header ‘classes’, as the gallery would like to compile a list of regular classes in East Anglia and permanently display this in the gallery’s information area.
