ELY will host a one-off contemporary art auction next month, featuring local artistic talent.
Auctioneers Blyth and Co will stage the auction at the Fenlord Auction Rooms in Market Place on Saturday, March 24, at the end of a week's viewing of the work.
Both buyers and those interested in contemporary art are welcome at the exhibition. Ophelia Redpath, one of the artists whose work will be displayed, said: "This is a great opportunity for an active involvement in an art event.
"It offers a unique chance for the public to buy works which may not otherwise be exhibited."
The auction will be overseen by David Palmer, known to many for his frequent appearances on Flog It! and Bargain Hunt, and artists will include John Rohda, Paul Joseph Crank, James Horton, John Sutcliffe, Krystyna Wojcik, Alexandra Baraitser and Sue Tutton.
The auction will include a variety of media, including sculpture and paintings.
