The Wells Art Contemporary exhibition is returning to Somerset this summer.
Entering its 13th year, the event will be held at the Wells Cathedral, from August 3 to 31.
This year's exhibition has two segments; a Gallery Show which features 121 artworks within the Cloisters, and an Installation Show which displays 19 site-specific installations throughout the cathedral and garden.
Almost 300 entries were chosen for the Installation Show and the final 19 were selected for their spiritual intensity in response to the cathedral's unique medieval building.

He said: "Exhibiting at Wells Cathedral is an opportunity to connect with the wider public outside of the gallery environment and I'm always fascinated to see how visitors engage with the works."
His artwork, Nest, uses approximately 1,000 cardboard postal tubes, designed to mimic the structure of a nest, lying on the floor within the Quire.
Mr Young said: "It is intended to draw connections between the architectural structure of the pillars, the organ pipes and a nest inviting viewers to consider the cathedral as a transitional space that bridges the earthly and divine.''
Paddy O'Hagan, chair of the Wells Art Contemporary, said: "We want to not only deliver a platform for artists to show their work in such an inspirational and prestigious space but also provide visitors with access to an enriching experience which is perhaps associated more with a large metropolitan art gallery.
''As always, we are immensely grateful to Wells Cathedral for allowing us to put on an exhibition of this size and scale.''
Entry to the exhibition is included with admission to the cathedral.
A virtual exhibition will also be available to view for those who are unable to visit in person.
