Several artists from Royston will be exhibiting their work at the 50th anniversary of Cambridge Open Studios.
To mark the milestone anniversary, Cambridge Open Studios - a community of more than 500 artists - is holding the biggest ever July Open Studios Art Festival.
The festival takes place over every weekend in July (6 to 7, 13 to 14, 20 to 21 and 27 to 28).
Throughout the month, art collectors and members of the public will have the chance to gain behind the scenes access to hundreds of working studios, browse unique art works, watch and take part in live demonstrations, tutorials and workshops, and buy art directly from more than 350 artists.
Artists from the Royston area who will be taking part include Allan J. Brown from Meldreth, who will display his mixed media and painting work on July 6 and 7 and July 13 and 14.
His wife Lorraine Brown will display her mixed media collage work on the same days.
Their work will be on display at 21 Marvell Green, Meldreth.
On the first two weekends in July, Charlotte Cornish will display her colourful, abstract paintings and prints at Unit B8, Whitehall Farm Units, Ermine Way, Arrington, Royston.
Naomi Tomkys Obe will display her oil paintings and drawings at 71 Frog End, Royston on all four weekends of the festival.
