We had a lovely morning today at Keele University celebrating the amazing artistic talents of local youngsters at our children’s painting competition awards. The theme was ‘The Life of Queen Elizabeth II’ to celebrate what would have been her 100th birthday. We had 1084 entries and gave prizes to 68 children. Big thanks to our sponsors The Art Studio/Gallery. You can see a selection of the paintings on display at Keele in Town, the Ironmarket. Please drop in and take a look. Well done to everyone involved 👏 Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council
