TALENTED artists just starting their careers are exhibiting work in Worcestershire.

The Graduate Show at The Gallery, Bevere, near Worcester, features pieces from 17 artists who have recently completed college and university courses.

Gallery owner Kim Taylor selected the artists because of their distinctive voices and outstanding talents, attributes she thinks will help them carve careers in the art world. "We are looking forward to this, our first exhibition of the new year, as we feel there is so much to enjoy over the two months with the combination of the established and the emerging talents," she said.

The exhibition runs until Sunday, February 24.

The Gallery is open from 10.30am to 5pm from Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free.
