Lady Thurso Opened The Art Exhibition For Wick Gala Week
Lady Thurso opened the art exhibition for Wick Gala Week. The exhibition is on until Thursday at Wick Youth Club. The exhibition is now in its third year. Lady Thurso recalled her "Weeker" connections from her days at school and earlier art exhibitions from her past. Many of the works on display are for sale and can be collected at the end of the exhibition. Well worth a look to see what great work local artists produce.
