Want to avoid the high streets this Christmas and support artists and visual arts organisations instead? Here are some gift ideas to get you started.
This Christmas, ditch the high street and discover original artworks and handcrafted gifts by independent artists and makers who will be opening their studios or putting up market stalls at a range of venues. Lauren Lomax makes a selection from across the UK.
This week’s selection includes exhibitions in Glasgow, Leicester, London, Birmingham and Bristol – all taken from our busy Events section featuring events and shows posted by a-n members.
