LOCAL Wellington art gallery, Talent Gallery, has announced it will be taking part in Somerset Art Weeks this September.

The Somerset Art Weeks Festival returns on September 19 until October 4 with the theme ‘Cultural Connections’.

“Venues across Somerset will open their doors to showcase group exhibitions, curated shows, events, new work and special commissions from Somerset Art Week members and invited artists, alongside a wide range of artists and makers.”

The gallery at 11 Fore Street in Wellington will be showcasing five different artists during Somerset Art Weeks including Bev Purdue, Claire Wester, Annie Musgrove, Victoria Kirtley and work by the owner of the gallery Nina King.

The exhibition will begin with a preview event on Friday, September 18.

Owner and artist Nina King said: “Please do save the date. I am hopeful that more people will come and visit us and support what we are doing here.”

Outside of Arts Week, the gallery is home to new artists exhibiting every six weeks bringing lots of new art with them. The year-round artisans also offer a wide variety of craft art which again changes regularly.

Nina added: “The gallery has also been hosting art workshops have been very successful, and I really do enjoy helping people on their artistic journey.

“I usually have a mixture of complete beginners and some who are fairly confident with other mediums but haven’t tried acrylics before. I love teaching a very small group, so I can give my support throughout if they need it.

“I always make sure they are happy with the end result and leave with a painting that they are proud of.”

All artists exhibitions slots are full for 2026 at the gallery but Nina is already booked to fill 2027.
