Art by East Anglian painters and illustrators will be displayed alongside work by Paraguayan artists in an exhibition entitled Local & Global, opening at World Land Trust gallery, Halesworth, on 14 October 2013.

The themes of the exhibition echo the local and global aspects of international conservation charity World Land Trust (WLT), which has its roots firmly in Suffolk, where it has had its headquarters for nearly a quarter of a century. In 2011 the Trust opened a wildlife and landscape art gallery on the ground floor of Blyth House, Bridge Street, Halesworth. The gallery and this particular exhibition illustrate aspects of the Trust’s overseas work and reflects the Trust’s founders’ passion for collecting artistic representations of the natural world.

There will be an exhibition preview on Sunday 13 October between noon and 2.30pm to mark the opening weekend of Halesworth Arts Festival
