A special exhibition showcasing the best works by national and local artists inspired by the Basingstoke Canal is coming to The Lightbox gallery in Chobham Road, Woking between Tuesday 22nd February and Sunday 6th March. The exhibition will run for two weeks and feature pieces from Brenda Ord, Charles Duncan Twigg and Christopher Wright to name only a few local artists, popular painter and printmaker Ian Mowforth, acclaimed plein air artist Alan Streets and Cranleigh artist Mark Weighton, whose sculpture Burnt Wood was produced for COP26.
