Offered for £800 is this Michael Frith watercolour offered by Jeremy Green of Canon Gallery.

The event coincides with the 75th Aldeburgh Festival, launched in 1948 by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears.

Anna Wakerley of Oriel Fine Art says that the event “picks up the concept of the old Aldeburgh Festival exhibitions that happened around the coterie of Benjamin Britten’s artist friends such as John Piper and Mary Potter. We endeavour to have a broad selection but certainly some of those names should feature as well as the much-loved Tessa Newcomb and Sargy Mann.”
