Deadline extension for this fabulous opportunity from Westbury Arts Centre !

To accommodate the school breaks and allowing some of the students their time to create new and exciting artworks we will be extending the deadline for both of the Young Artist Competitions to the 4th April.

Teachers from all schools within Milton Keynes can enter 10 of their students, to encourage their creativity and give them confidence in seeing their work exhibited professionally at a show that is open to the public, and potentially win a private tuition session with a resident artist from Westbury Arts Centre. The school attended by the overall winner will receive a £250 voucher for art materials.

“The competition is an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their work, develop confidence, and gain recognition. It also encourages creativity and provides inspiration for others.” Secondary school teacher
