South Holland artists invited to enter work

Artists are invited to enter a competition designed to showcase the best work created by professionals and amateurs across the region.

Entries are now open for the 15th South Holland Open Arts Exhibition which will take place at the South Holland Centre in Spalding from March 5 to 12.

Artists can submit their work and an independent panel of judges will choose the pieces which will be displayed at the exhibition.

Coun Howard Johnson, portfolio holder for arts development, said: “This prestigious event has been running since 1999 and previously attracted artists and visitors from all over the East of England.

“I’m sure next year’s event will be of the usual excellent standard and I look forward to seeing the artwork on display.”

The contest is open to any professional or amateur artist over the age of 14 living or working in Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, Leicestershire or Fenland.

Artists can enter up to three works by completing an Open Arts entry form and submitting it to the Community Development team by Friday, January 30.

Entry forms are available from South Holland District Council, The South Holland Centre, Ayscoughfee Hall Museum, libraries and galleries in South Holland and online at www.sholland.gov.uk.
