WHAT is contemporary art? Head along to Ilminster Arts Centre and find out with a new exhibition kicking off next week.

Ilminster 3D2D Contemporary brings together the work of 12 wellestablished artists to present a snapshot of the contemporary art scene in the West Country.

Co-organiser Sue Bishop said: “Contemporary art has an unjustified mystique and Ilminster 3D2D Contemporary will enable the public to see at first hand the high quality work being produced in the region.

“There may not be any pickled sharks or unmade beds on display but this exhibition shows you don’t need to travel far to keep up to date with the latest developments in the art world.”
