The Artist and Leisure Painter Patchings Exhibition 2007

This international Competition is one of the highlights of the annual Art, Craft & Design Festival here at Patchings.

Again we have received well over a thousand entries. Among the finalists exhibited here are work from Serbia, Italy, Norway, Botswana in addition to painters from throughout the UK.

There are many people to thank for their contribution towards the success of the competition: the sponsors, the organisers, the judges and most of all, those many painters both amateur and professional who have taken part.

This collection of work, together with the award winners, can also be viewed here as well as an additional gallery showing the collection of highly commended work.

We hope you enjoy the exhibition.
