ARTISTS are being invited to a group painting session.

The Big Paint coincides with Swindon Open Studios when 54 artists have opened their homes and workspaces to the public.

The Big Paint takes place on June 27 at the recently painted Old Railway Museum, where works from the Open Studios are also on display.

The event is a chance to meet other artists and spend the day painting in a stimulating environment.

People should bring their own acrylic paint and a £5 pound note and organisers will provide you with a piece of primed canvas and floor space to work on.

The Big Paint is happening between 11am and 4pm. For more information or to book your place call 01793 466520.
