This month I have great pleasure in revealing the 13 winning paintings from last year’s anniversary competitions as we also unveil two new competitions and publish the final call for entries to this year’s LP open competition.
We are delighted to launch details of our third Art Club of the Year competition on page 74, which will culminate in an exhibition of the ten finalists at Patchings Art Centre (13 October to 11 November). With £1,100 worth of art materials vouchers from Jackson’s Art Supplies to be won, this popular competition has become a fixture in many clubs’ calendars. Art Club of the Year celebrates the work of art societies in supporting and growing amateur painting in this country, and the final exhibition only goes to highlight the exceptional talent of the UK’s amateur painters.
