The Art Competition is back for a sixth year and we hope to attract as many entries as we did last year. We also hope to continue with our Touring Exhibition which took a selection of work out to public galleries and spaces last year. This was very well received and we intend to repeat this.
As usual, winning entries will be exhibited in the foyer at Trust HQ, Mellor House at St George’s Hospital in Stafford, plus selected entries will go on tour to various community venues in Staffordshire and Shropshire.
You can submit artwork in any 2D medium. Entries should be no bigger than A2 but no smaller than A3. For details of how to apply and copies of the entry form, please contact Jessica Kent on 01743 210048 or Jessica.kent@sssft.nhs.uk
