The Arts Forum has been working with brand experience agency, Jack Morton Worldwide, and students from Acton High School to curate an exciting exhibition of art by professional and amateur artists as well as students.  It is the first time that the exhibition is being produced with the expert input of this award winning agency throughout. 

Rachel Pepper, ACF community development organiser commented: "Summer Exhibition 2010 is a great opportunity for the arts community to come together and display the creative arts from a rich mix of professional and community arts.  The exhibition will showcase artists and reflect the diversity and talent of our local communities."
