Creativity is being celebrated with Rugby Rotary Young Artist competition.

This competition and exhibition, being promoted by the three Rotary Clubs of Rugby, aims to encourage young people to experiment with art (no photography); using any form of paint/mixed media/textile.

It’s open to students in years 7-13.

Pauline Kimber, who is co-ordinating the competition for Rugby, said: “In 2016 Rotary in Rugby started Young Artist, a competition for young people interested in painting, so we are in our tenth year.

Artists are invited to take part in the competition.

“Most of the students taking part are entered through their school, but as not all schools take part we encourage individual entries.

"We have some amazing young talent in Rugby and everyone is invited to come and view the students’ work.”

The young artists’ exhibition is being held at St Andrew’s Church from Monday, October 19 through to Prizegiving on Saturday, October 31. Visitors can vote for their favourite.
