Welcome........We are growing network of contemporary artists in the Southend-on Sea area, Essex, UK, who share a passion for Art and Books. As artists from a wide range of disciplines, we share a curiosity to explore these two forms in all their various aspects.

 exvivolibris.net will soon have an online shop, and we're looking forward to a new retail space early in the new year... watch this space!
