Network Rural are pleased to announce the opening of the new Art Cafe at the The Rural Training Centre in Owston.  

Part funded by Northamptonshire ACRE, the new facility offers an exciting exhibition space for artists and an ideal venue for local people to drop in, enjoy some art, a cup of coffee and a cake!  The exhibition programme starts in earnest this September though artists have booked their monthly slot as far ahead as November 2009.  In the meantime, to offer a taste of the artistic delights to come, Great Easton Art Club will be displaying their work from June 21^st to July 11^th.  The art café will be open for visitors from Monday to Friday, from 11.00am – 4.00pm and also for the first weekend of the exhibition, Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd.  This event is part of Rutland Open Studios, where many artists in the Rutland and Leicestershire area will be displaying work at various venues for art lovers to enjoy.
