If there is anything art related in the area we would love to hear about it, wether it be a show by your favourite artist, a print release you've been trying to get your hands on, or a new website just launched, this is the place to talk about it!

Last weekend i dropped into the Goldmark gallery in Uppingham, having heard that they now have a street art section in their gallery. I wasn't too sure what to expect, as Rutland isnt known for it's large amount of street art, but I have to say i was impressed.

Alongside the huge range of classic and contemporary painting, sculptures, sketches and prints, they had a good range of Urban art prints, from some pretty top notch artists such as D*Face, Nick Walker, Swoon and even a new piece by Elbowtoe, which really caught my eye.

The gallery offer a framing service with all their purchases, so not only can you get very limited editions, you can get them professionally framed for a small cost. If your keen on street art, or just art in general, i would definately check it out.

If you check it out, let me know what you think.

Really cool piece. I'm very keen on the D*Face prints also.

yep, D*Face is always a winner, pretty good value too.

heres a link to the Goldmark website, good catalogue of what they have, not so easy to find all the street art bits.
