ARTS RICHMOND EVENTS

Arts Richmond has organised our second ‘Artist of the Year’ competition for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, this year taking place at the London Wetland Centre in Barnes on Sunday 12th June.

The competition, modelled on the popular Sky Arts series ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’, gives artists aged 16+ a chance to create an original work inspired by the scenery and wildlife at the Wetland Centre in just three hours, for the chance to win a series of prizes.

Artists will be around the site creating their masterpieces from 11.30am - 2.30pm, with judging taking place at 3.30pm that afternoon. Prizes include £250 sponsored by Haynes Fine Art, as well as a one year Wildfowl & Wetland Trust (WWT) membership, offering free entry to all ten UK Wetland Centres and more.

Works created during the competition will also be displayed in the gallery at the Wetland Centre after the competition, from 14th June - 31st August, including works for sale to benefit worldwide wetlands conservation.

The competition is free to enter. Artists who would like to register to take part can email info@artsrichmond.org.uk for an application form, or write to Arts Richmond at: Room 21, ETNA Community Centre, 13 Rosslyn Road, Twickenham TW1 2AR. You can also call us on 020 8892 9446.
