BUDDING artists from Higher Croft, Blackburn, are exhibiting their work at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery.

The youngsters, part of the Art House project, were inspired to produce artwork following a trip to Manchester Art Gallery.

The exhibition kicked off with a free art workshop for Blackburn youngsters, who were invited to try their hand at producing pictures and paintings.

The Art House is a long-term project for five to 13-year-olds living on the Higher Croft Estate and is co-ordinated by Action Factory Community Arts, with sponsorship from the Children's Fund and Twin Valley Homes.
