b'Patrons foreword: Andrew DaviesAfter a miserable wet spring, galloping inflation and gloomy headlines wherever you look, its great to have something lovely to really look forward to. Its time for Warwickshire Open Studios Summer Art Weeks again. A chance for artists to show off their creations and for everybody to discover what a wealth of talent we have in our county. Lots of venues, a Plein Air event in Charlecote Park, and four bursaries for new and emerging artists.
