THE talent of local artists and the stories of our area, past, present, and future will form the heart of a new exhibition at Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre.
Pride of Grimsby is set to showcase some of the best contemporary artwork from North East Lincolnshire.
Each artwork represents the artist’s connection with the local area, and the stories which connect them to the place they call home.
These stores include personal experiences, family and community, heritage, environment, and local industry past and present.
Says Louise Bowen, collections officer for the heritage centre: "This exhibition is about celebrating our area and the creative talent it has produced."
Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite artwork using the voting cards in the gallery.
There will be a prize of £250 for the artist who wins the Judges' Choice award, and an additional prize of £250 will go to the artist who wins the Visitors' Choice award, with an additional £150 for second place and £50 for third place.
The exhibition is free and opens to the public at 1pm on Saturday 9 April.
The exhibition will run in the Muriel Barker Gallery until 15 May, 2022. and is open every day except Mondays, from 10am to 4pm.
