Business park to showcase artists.
Art meets business at a Darlington business park, with artists showcasing their work in space that can accomodate anything from huge sculptures to paintings.
The Lingfield business park will allow local artists to showcase their craft in areas ranging from huge industrial space to individual studios in yet to be developed buildings.
