The Sayle Gallery Artists' Christmas Show has been launched, at a preview evening hosted by sponsors CMI.

The exhibition provides an opportunity for local artists to showcase their work in the gallery, which relocated from St John's to the Villa Marina Colonnade a year ago.

CMI managing director Dean Waddingham praised the artists for their 'fantastic work'.

He said: 'CMI and our distribution partners Scottish Widows are proud to be sponsoring the Christmas Art Show once again.

"We are pleased to continue our long-term association with the Sayle Gallery, which now has an exceptional home in Douglas, to complement the outstanding quality of art on display."

The Sayle Gallery Artists' Christmas Show runs until January 7.
