ARTISTS in the dale are being invited to join a local networking group ahead of the launch of the new directory in 2020.

Teesdale ArtNet (TAN) provides its members with opportunities to exhibit and take part in the annual Teesdale Open Studios as well as providing peer support through networking with fellow artists.

The group recently organised a successful Art Day at The Hub in Barnard Castle and there will be further opportunities to hold workshops in 2020.

Members feature on the Teesdale ArtNet website and social media pages.

This year, for an additional fee, members will also have the opportunity to feature in the TAN 2020 Art Directory.

Some 4,000 copies of this full colour, high quality directory will be distributed throughout the North East.

Secretary Judy Caplin said: “Teesdale ArtNet is keen to build on the success of the annual open studios, exhibitions and workshops held this year and we would welcome artists from Teesdale who would like to be part of this exciting and supportive group.”

Membership costs £50 (£20 for students).

To feature in the Art Directory members need to join by January 1. Contact Judy Caplin on teesdale artnet@gmail.com or phone 01833 640077.
