A range of paintings include landscapes and abstracts will feature at the St Albans Art Society annual summer exhibition.
Between 700 and 800 people came to last year’s show and a similar number is expected this year, bidding on art ranging from £50 to £700.
The society’s chairman, Edward Bevin, said: “The whole spectrum of art is covered. People come from across the district and outside it.”
The exhibition allows visitors to vote on their favourite, with the winner being awarded a cup.
For a society celebrating its 120th birthday this year, it is showing no signs of being caught behind the times.
Mr Bevin said: “We are looking towards a new logo and revamping our website, which gets several thousand hits a year.
“The society is very much on the up, we like to think.”
The exhibition will run from Wednesday, July 26 to Saturday, July 29 from 10am to 6pm at the Dagnall Street Baptist Church Hall, in Upper Dagnall Street.
