Ludlow Mascall Centre calls for artists to exhibit work

The centre is taking bookings for both groups and individuals, encouraging exhibitions from students, hobbyists and professionals alike.

Located in Ludlow, the Mascall Centre is a former school building that provides a space for events, exhibitions and even weddings.

Its Treasure Gallery is open to the public during the centre's opening hours, and offers artists a chance to exhibit their work for around a month at a time. It has a hanging system for displaying art, but says that it is unable to display work that cannot be hung on this system. The centre also stresses that artists are themselves responsible for hanging and taking down their exhibitions, but that the centre can help with marketing and promotion.

To apply, you can contact marketing@ludlowmascallcentre.co.uk. Someone will then be in touch to finalise exhibition dates and other arrangements.

The Mascall Centre is a registered educational charity and describes itself as "the ideal place to stay, learn, meet and celebrate" in Ludlow. It aims to host events and provide a space for the local community as well as visitors to the area, and it even provides accommodation for guests and has free parking.

Describing itself on its website, the centre says: "Ludlow Mascall Centre is a converted school situated five minutes from the town centre of the rural market town of Ludlow. 

"Located in the heart of this market town, the Mascall Centre is within walking distance of restaurants, markets, shops, pubs, museum, the castle and the church.

"The Shropshire Hills are close by, with miles of beautiful countryside and stunning landscapes to explore. Built in 1857 as a national school, the centre offers a superb range of rooms as well as comfortable residential accommodation which was fully refurbished in 2011.

"The centre is fully accessible and has Wi-Fi throughout. Our venue is ideal for conferences and meetings, training, community activities, functions, and residentials and holidays."
