The New Light Prize Exhibition is proving a hit at Harrogate’s Mercer Gallery.

Since it was launched last month, not only has the show attracted art lovers but school children, too.

In particular, the ‘New Light Art for All’ programme associated with the show has seen pupils from Harrogate primary schools not only pay a visit but produce their own artwork.

A truly interactive venue, these days, Mercer Gallery is also set to host a talk by London-based gallery owner Matthew Hall.
