ART connoisseurs will be spoiled for choice when they visit the annual exhibition by Bury Art Society.

No fewer than 146 works are on show at Bury Art Gallery in a colourful display of local talent.

People flocked to the exhibition (pictured) when it opened last weekend: the show runs until August 25.

A ballot box has been set up to give visitors a chance to cast their vote for their favourite painting: and organisers hope for a good turnout!

The winner will receive a special "People's Prize", while members of neighbouring Middleton Art Society will also make their choice for a second award.

Many entries in the show are landscape paintings, with areas of the borough such as Ramsbottom amply represented.

The Moss Street gallery is open from 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday.
