Pete Wishart opens art exhibition in Italy

Jul 8 2008

PERTH and North Perthshire MP Pete Wishart was in Italy last week to open a exhibition of paintings by Perthshire-based artist, Charles Harris.

The exhibition is currently being held in the ex-Auram Gallery in Pescara, Abruzzo, and features the four seasons of Perthshire.

Speaking following his visit Pete said: “I was delighted to be asked to open this exhibition of Charles’ paintings in Italy and it is like a part of Perthshire has come to Pescara.

“I hope that the many thousands of people who will visit the gallery will perhaps be inspired to come to Perthshire after seeing these paintings. Scotland and Italy enjoy many cultural links and connections and exhibitions such as Charles Harris’ Pescara Paintings can only enhance this connection.”
