Ascot Studio set in Ribchester has been launched to showcase undiscovered local talent. Wakefield was aided by a new entrepreneur scholarship to set up Ascot Studio - meaning budding artists no longer need to go to major cities to get their work displayed and, likewise, art lovers can appreciate local talent here in the county. Wakefield explained: "I decided to open my own gallery after working with other artists, gaining experience from travelling to art fairs and realising I had all these ideas and contacts. "I know how hard it is to get your work noticed when you're an up and coming artist."
The scholarship offered by the Hyndburn Enterprise Trust and the University of Central Lancashire provided Wakefield with both practical and financial support for setting up the business. Wakefield said: "The scholarship was a great help in getting the Studio off the ground." What kind of art can you expect to find there? Wakefield said: "You'll find contemporary affordable art by up and coming artists and undiscovered talent here." - Ascot Studio opens from Wednesday to Saturday - 11.00am- 5.00pm.
