Rolling programme of exhibiting opportunities at the Salisbury Medical Centre throught the year
The next group of Plain Arts members set up their work on Monday 8th July.
The exhibition will run through until the end of October.
We have now been organising a rolling programme of exhibitions since the centre opened on the Wilton Road.
The Practice has conducted a number of surveys and they have found how valued and
appreciated this project is to both the staff and patients. It's free to exhibit and the wall spaces are excellent
for showing your work to a very large audience.
