Congratulations to all our winners of the Annual Penfest Art Exhibition held Penicuik Storehouse this week.

Our winners are:
The Turner Prize donated by Turners Blacksmiths - Elaine Nimmo
People’s Choice donated by Jan Millar - Leigh Ann Dickson
U16s prize sponsored by Sandra Vick Art Classes - Max
U16s Peoples Choice - Amelie

Well done to all of our exhibiting artists - our judge, Rob Airey (Director of the Wilhemina Barns-Graham Charitable Art Trust) said it was very tricky to choose the winners.

And thank you to everyone who visited the exhibition, voted for their favourite painting and purchased art work for their homes as well as those who attended the other events on during the week. It is your support and participation that makes the Penfest a wonderful community event.
