LOVESTRUCK artists are being recruited for a new art participation event in a venue where scores of Oxfordshire couples have tied the knot.

The “Love Is...” exhibition will showcase romantic paintings, pottery, jewellery and sculptures by Oxfordshire artists at Cassington wedding venue Worton Park.

Outdoor art and large sculptures will be shown in the grounds.

Mandy Constance, of Worton Park, said: “For our first year, we thought that a celebration of love would be the perfect theme for our contribution to Art Weeks next year.”

Her 15-year-old daughter Sasha helped to launch the event by posing in a wedding dress.

She said: “I have modelled at the wedding fair before and I’m a member of the Cassington art group and I wanted to combine the two.

“I would like to go into art or graphic design or something along those lines after school.”

Applications to participate in Art Weeks must be made by December 31. For more see www.artweeks.org
