TWO exhibitions celebrating art are being held at Droitwich Library.

The exhibition will represent a fine choice of art in various styles and media, including acrylic and watercolour paintings, drawings, photography and contemporary textiles).

Some 24 local artists will present their recent works until the end of August.

At the same time, the library will host the third international Mail Art exhibition 'Long Live the Art!'.

This project was started in 2015 by local artist Tamara Jelaca, with the aim to bring some fresh and new art into Droitwich Spa.

An event spokesman said: "Mail art, small format artworks sent by postal service, seems to be a perfect format thanks to its non-formality and free representation.

"This year, the response from the artist was excellent."

There will be artworks by 157 artists from 26 countries, including USA, Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Turkey, Argentina, Italy, Serbia, Mexico, Norway.

This display of more than 250 artworks is a celebration of art, and visitors will have the unique opportunity to see the diversity of contemporary visual arts in one place.
