The Community Art Competitions organised as part of the Festival are still open! So all budding artists, young and not-so-young, why not get out those paints and have a go?
There are three categories for the younger artist: Pre-School/Reception and Yrs 1 & 2/Yrs 3 - 6. We want paintings or drawings from you showing a character or something exciting that happens in your "Favourite Book". There will be prizes and certificates for the best artists and these will be presented by local children's author and illustrator, Jane Hissey.
There are also three categories for the other artists: Yrs 7 - 11/Yrs 12 & 13/Adult. From these artists we are asking for work in any 2-D medium including photography and the theme is "Sussex in Summer" - most appropriate at the moment. Work up to A1 in size, mounted or unmounted, is acceptable but not framed, please. Again, there will be prizes and a presentation at the Festival Launch Night on Friday evening, 17th September.
All artists are asked to put their names, categories and full contact details on the back of their work and hand it in to the Festival Stall at the Farmers' Market on Saturday on 28th August.
The best work will be displayed at the Library in Pine Grove for the whole of the Festival. So - all you budding Picassos and Constables - start painting and be part of the first-ever Arts Festival in Crowborough.
