Artworks, a co-operative of thirty East Anglian artists, is celebrating its 20th anniversary by joining the Bury St Edmunds Festival.

The Artworks group is comprised of professional 2D and 3D artists, and their work ranges from colourful abstract art to exquisite botanical illustrations, dramatic landscape paintings to heart-rending portraiture, robust ceramics to delicate figurative works, contemporary glass sculpture to intricate mixed media constructions.

Gillian Crossley-Holland (Chair) adds: ‘Over the years our group has built up a tremendous reputation for inspiring contemporary work, and we feel very proud and excited to be bringing this work to the heart of Bury and being part of the Bury Festival.’
