Creating Work
Artists are invited to create work during the plein air weekend in response to the local landscape and surroundings. A wide range of media is welcome, provided the work is suitable for display.
Each artist can submit one piece that has been created during the competition times for judging. Two additional pieces may then be submitted for exhibition only. All pieces must be no larger than 60cm including the frame, and must have been produced over the course of the weekend.
Framing is optional, however if you wish to frame your work please allow sufficient time before the submission deadline. There will be designated preparation tables in The Barrington Hall for artists to use.
