THE Hampshire Artists Co-operative wants a patron to buy its gallery before it's sold off.

The nine Hampshire artists have until November 5 to find a philanthropist before The Selborne Gallery goes under the hammer.

Owned for more than 20 years by the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, whose work is online and at exhibitions around the world, the gallery has been home to the Hampshire Artists Co-operative for seven years, giving artists a shared, fixed space in which to exhibit.
