Out and about in Taunton: Art Weeks visits day two

Day two of my Art Week travels and this one was spent on foot in my home town of Taunton. Only six venues today, but that was probably due to talking a lot with people I knew at each venue. Lots of excellent work in four venues from Somerset College graduates with the work at Kings College and Somerset College being my personal favourites of the day ('erm, not that I'd be biased or anything though...). Anyway, enjoy! Please also scroll to the bottom of this post, to see links to venues also in Taunton that I couldn't get to today but are well worth a visit if you're in this area.
