Paintbrushes at the ready! Artists across Hertfordshire are needed to donate a piece of their work for a fundraising drive.

Friends of Little Cassiobury are hoping to transform Little Cassiobury into an Arts and Heritage Centre for use by the local community.

Donated pieces of artwork will be sold at an art sale organised to raise cash for the initiative.

Work should be labelled with a title, medium, artist’s name and suggested price. It should also have eyelets/rings, so that it is ready for hanging.

Pieces need to be submitted at Little Cassiobury, Hempstead Road, between 9 to 10am on Saturday, September 14.

Any unsold pieces will be returned to the artist or donated to a local charity shop.

Art-lovers will be able support this local scheme by purchasing an original piece of work at the sale on Saturday, September 14, from 11am until 3pm, Little Cassiobury, Hempstead Road.
