Yes, we know it's way too early to start thinking about Christmas, but how fabulous would it be to see your child or pupil's design on one of the Royal Mail's Christmas stamps?
Royal Mail is running an amazing national art competition for primary school pupils to design stamps for Christmas 2013.
Two lucky winners will see their designs on one of the 1st or one of the 2nd Class Christmas stamps from this year’s range.
Only twice before has Royal Mail run a competition like this – in 1966 and 1981 – so this is the first opportunity for more than 30 years for school...
An evocative exhibition of Devon landscapes showing throughout July and August features the work of two photographers, Natalie Christie and Martin Sharpe.
Christie captures landscape through artistic eyes and the selection of her works large and small is stunning, including summer grasses against a stormy sky and crashing waves.
Sharpe’s work is abstract with an emphasis on line, shape, pattern and beautiful spectrums of colour. All of the works are available for sale and can be ordered in different sizes.
Greeting cards reproducing the artists work will also be...

The Exeter Arts Hub's latest exhibition previewed on Monday evening. A crowd of about 30 [by the time I left] were entertained at the St Thomas venue by a variety of works in a range of media. From being greeted outside the door by Simon Nelder's huge metal dragon to his own delicate musing on a dead bird in porcelain upstairs, curator Adam Graddon ensured there was something for art lovers of all stripes.
The exhibition has been billed as showcasing hidden talent, but this has more than a whiff of modesty! Anyone attending Exeter Open Studios or even the RAMM last year will be...
