Artists wanted to take part in the borough's first arts market

Contemporary artists and crafters are being invited to take part in Blackburn's first ever art market.

The market will showcase work by artists working in painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, photography, contemporary crafts and jewellery.

It will run alongside Blackburn three day market on Wednesday, July 22, Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25.

The event will take place as part of 'Celebrate Blackburn' and if the market is a success could become an annual event.

Rebecca Johnson, Blackburn with Darwen Council's head of arts, said: "Local markets are the heart of the community and are for everybody.

"It would be great if you could go and pick up a lettuce or some cheese and get some art or sculpture at the same time."

Stalls are just £5 per day, or £10 for all three.

To register, please call Gwen Sangster on 07866606189 or 01254 585357, or email gwen.sangster@blackburn.gov.uk.
The deadline for registering is June 26.
