The Emporium was a great success. 18 Woodend Artists took part with a fantastic range of work. From flying books to ballerinas, to graffiti art. They certainly lived up to the name. For those who didn't get to experience it or would like to see is again, the Emporium will be moving on to Ashton under Lyne Central Art Gallery in May 2009 for 3 months. Well worth a visit.
