How does it work?
- Buy your ticket through the website in advance.
- Turn up with your blank canvas and your kit at the gazebo on the village Green in the centre of the village in the time slot you selected to check in and get your canvas stamped & numbered on the reverse.
- Spend the day creating your masterpiece at your chosen location in or around the village (you can paint up at Broadway Tower too).
- Get your work of art back to the Lifford Hall anytime from 2pm, but by 3:30pm at the very latest. If you have used an easel, please leave it on your easel for display in the exhibition.
- If you would like to sell your work, tell us the price when you hand it back in.
- The entries will then form a selling exhibition and judged. Prize-winners will see a rosette on their piece when the exhibition opens at 4pm.
- The selling exhibition is then open to the public for all to enjoy from 4pm to 5pm.
- Only artwork started and completed on the day will qualify.
- Artwork can be in any medium & any size, however we cannot accept photography or iPad art as a medium for a number of reasons.
- We process all artwork sales at the exhibition through our card machine and then transfer 90% of the sale price directly to your bank account in the following days. 10% of all sales are retained as commission to help cover the costs of running the competition. You will receive a text if your entry sells at the exhibition.
This event will go ahead despite poor weather (no refunds) – so please dress appropriately!
