Art-lovers staying at the Millennium Hotel in St Louis could indulge themselves with the practice when a fair comes to the city next month.

Between May 14th and 16th, Art on the Square will be taking place in Belleville Public Square, Illinois.

The event has been named the best fine arts show by the Art Fair Source Book of Portland, Oregon, ahead of over 600 other contenders.

It was started in 2002 by Patty Gregory and aims to enrich the community and increase local pride in the Belleville area.

Around 1,000 artists apply to be a part of Art on the Square, but only 105 are selected to take part.

A panel of judges will look at the efforts on show and $27,000 (£17.77) will be handed out to the winners.

Many varieties of art specialities will be on display over the two days.

These include ceramics, jewellery, photography and graphics, among others.
