A Celebration of Artistic Diversity

The exhibition brings together an inspiring mix of styles and subjects, including:

• Striking abstracts filled with colour and emotion

• Evocative British landscapes

• Expressive portrayals of animals and wildlife

• Bold, contemporary art inspired by urban life and modern culture

2025 Exhibition Winners

1st Prize (£200)

Visible Pantie Line by Hilary Roberts

Giclée Print
“I found this image in the town of Trinidad, a World Heritage Site on the wonderful island of Cuba. In the yard behind a flourishing barber's shop the barber's wife was drying the washing. I love the picture, but its impact really relies on the title...” — Hilary Roberts

A beautifully observed moment rich in narrative charm and cultural context. Its humour, composition, and storytelling captured the judges’ attention instantly.

2nd Prize (£100)

Blue Boat by Margaret Barrett

Limited Edition Giclee Print from an original pastel.

Painted during a 10-day holiday in Venice exploring its quiet, lesser-known corners, Blue Boat captures the serenity and hidden beauty of the city. Its gentle colours and peaceful atmosphere made it a favourite with the judges.
