OPENING tomorrow (Saturday) at 2 pm in Oriel Q Gallery, Narberth, is a very prestigious exhibition by the 56 Group Wales

The 56 Group Wales was founded in 1956 by a number of professional artists who realised that there were very few opportunities to exhibit contemporary art in Wales at that time.

Since then, the group has consistently shown contemporary work throughout Wales, in the British Isles and Ireland, in Europe and North America.

Its membership, which is restricted to 22 artists, has included many nationally and internationally recognised artists which has enabled the group to make a major contribution to the establishment of contemporary art in Wales and to its recognition abroad.

Artists showing in the Oriel Q Gallery, Narberth, are John Selway, Peter Spriggs, Emrys Williams, Robert Alwyn Hughes, Peter Seabourne, Dylis Jackson, Martyn Jones, Ken Elias, Brendan Burns, Dennis Gardiner, Robert Harding, Clive Hicks Jenkins, Carol Hiles, Harvey Hood, Sue Hunt, Glyn Jones, Tom Piper, Richard Renshaw, Kevin Sinnott, Christopher Shurrock and Antonia Spowers.

Also showing on the stairs is a fine exhibition of photographs by Tom Learmouth.

The exhibition runs until February 27 and is open Wednesday - Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm.
