The exhibition, entitled Raw, was staged by international artist Anita Mortimer at the Admiral Rodney Hotel, in North Street.

It proved such a success with art lovers that the event, held on Saturday, May 12, and Sunday, May 13, saw most of the new artwork sold, as well as new commissions being secured.
