The Isle of Man Arts Council's exhibition at the Villa Marina is open for a further week.

The collaborative art book and exhibition 'Ellyn' will now be open between 10am-4pm until Sunday October 17 following a successful opening week and almost 1,000 visitors.

The exhibition showcases over 60 pieces by artists with a Manx connection and is in partnership with UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, with copies of the book on sale at local bookshops.

Arts Development Manager, Jane Corkill, says the display has been described as stunning and an inspiration to the next generation.
