Pictora News

September may seem early to think about Christmas Cards, but now it the time Pictora sends art packs to prisons and organisations helping vulnerable people in the community.   Using the packs they can create their own Christmas and season card images for Pictora to print professional cards for the artists.

On 7th September, the national Prison paper InsideTime again featured the work of Pictora and the Made Visible Exhibition in Dornoch Cathedral, highlighting the importance of art:
